Taos Tao #24
Excess
Standing on tiptoe
is not a position of strength
rushing about does not bring steady progress
braggarts only impress fools
pomposity is not respected
selfish people cannot expect generosity
those who seek fame
do not make great leaders
Those in DivineUnity
have no need for self indulgence
do not retain cancer or garbage
do not waste food or energy
those in DivineUnity
are truly free

Writers referenced: McCarroll, Feng - English, Muller, McDonald, Ganson
It is important for us to learn stability through simplicity. Rushing things will not usually bring them to completion with skill and delight. As we open our hearts to the truth of our DivineUnity, we begin to embody the qualities of DivineLove which includes the humbleness of the parent who helps a child create an art project and yet never says: "look what I did" but rather "look what we did" or still better, "look what you did." We are at our best when we give things away because that which we give away is ours forever.
