tao doesn’t lord over anything

the highest good is like water

The great Tao

floods and flows in every direction.

Everything in existence depends on it, and it doesn’t deny them.

It accomplishes its work without naming or making claims for itself.

Everything in existence is clothed and nourished by it,

but it doesn’t strain over anything.

Aimless, ambitionless, it might

be called “small.”

Everything in

existence returns to it,

and still it doesn’t lord over anything.

Thus it might also be called

“great.”

Because it has no desire to

be great, it can achieve

greatness.

it’s simple to become a sage

a king was born

It’s simple

to become a sage: all

that’s required is to burn up,

die, and cool into

ashes.

Rise early,

then, and set fire to

all you think and feel and

believe. Look beyond the smoke

of that pit into what is left:

emptiness filled with

emptiness.

Breathe it in.

Pour it out. Circulating

the Oneness without stopping,

endlessly renewing your determination,

working steadily day after day and

year upon year, you’ll find

yourself alert, rested,

illuminated.

pass freely into complete realization

aarto saari

No teacher

or master is in possession of

your enlightenment. Ultimately only

you can free yourself. Just shed your delusions

like a sweaty shirt and slip into the stream of

zen and tao, empty minded, quiet hearted,

at rest in the midst of everything

and at peace with all

that occurs.

Polish yourself

on your own over and over

until you disappear, and you’ll wake up

right where you are. You’ll see straight

through the snares of the world and

pass freely into complete

realization.

in a great storm the wise bird

julie mcinnes

In a great

storm the wise bird

returns to her nest and

waits patiently.

This is a time of difficult and dangerous conditions. You should not be seduced into struggling, striving, or seeking solutions through aggressive action. Success is met only by waiting modestly for the guidance of the Creative.Trying times are a test of our integrity and commitment to proper principles.

The ordinary person reacts to challenges with fear, anger, mistrust of fate, and a stubborn desire to strike out and eliminate difficulty once and for all. While the temptation to act in this way can be great, to do so can only lead to misfortune and the loss of hard-won ground.

The way of the superior person faced with difficulty is that of nonaction rather than action. She does not strive after recognition or resolution or attempt to gain a higher position by conquering others. Instead, she retreats into her center and cultivates humility, patience, and conscientiousness. On the path of acceptance, self-inquiry, and self-improvement we obtain the aid of the Creative and meet with success after the storm has passed.
