[Peace]

Without taking a step outdoors
You know the whole world;
Without taking a peep out the window
You know the color of the sky.

The more you experience,
The less you know.
The sage wanders without knowing,
Looks without seeing,
Accomplishes without acting.

[Peace]

Embracing the Way, you become embraced;
Breathing gently, you become newborn;
Clearing your mind, you become clear;
Nurturing your children, you become impartial;
Opening your heart, you become accepted;
Accepting the world, you embrace the Way.

Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
This is harmony.

yet another stumble...... i love the wisdom is this one. it's the basic thought of everything in moderation; that overdoing anything is not necessarily going to get one where they want to be. for me, that's a good lesson to remember. lol.

Tao #12 ~ Intuition
Ф

light reveals color
but intense light can blind

music is beautiful
yet can deafen
with loudness and time

taking delight in subtle flavors
we all love to taste and savor
yet constant intensity can rob us of pleasure

constant grasping dulls the mind
too much seeking and one does not find

the wise do not judge by appearances
but look deeper into the heart

seek the kingdom within
know your heart as a friend
