Tao #29 ~ Moderation
Ф

Seeking to gain the world
they lose their souls
there's no fulfilling
the bottomless hole

The Earth is a sacred trust
given us to love
when something is in balance
don't add anything to it
a mirror touched
is a mirror smudged

to seek to alter perfection
when one perfection finds
is the same as fixing a masterpiece
by addition of a line

Within the Universe,
some lay anchor and some set sail
some forge ahead while others turn tail
some follow and some lead
some fail and others succeed
some are hot and some are cold
some are afraid and some are bold

therefore the wise avoid excess
extravagance and arrogance



Interpretation

Writers referenced: Beck, McCarroll, Lau, Mcdonald

We are wise to find our hearts and to know the truth of our being within DivineUnity. Many people chase fame or fortune by forget to develop their hearts and thus they lose the most important part of life and soon emptiness yawns within and devours what little peace they have. When we discover the space left alone is what creates the greatest masterpieces, then we create with less effort. We open to the peace of accepting things as they are and knowing when to stop working. We learn moderation and through this we create our finest moments.
