What a great day with Cici kicking us off with #5 Shelly write in asking for a number and getting #6. Melissa chose #18 and Chris Preble joined me for the first time and selected #59.
#5 "Impartial"
Nature doesn't care,
It knows everything is more than it seems.
The Master doesn't care,
She knows that as well.
It is good to be empty
Thus the Master embraces the void.
Like a bellows, she produces from emptiness.
Stay centered.
#6 "The Great Feminine"
Everything is born from the feminine,
Even Heaven and Earth.
The Feminine that births is a Mother,
She nourishes and supports without possessing.
Despite your awareness of it
You are using it right now.
#18 "Out of Touch with Tao
When out of touch with Tao
Etiquette is observed.
When etiquette cannot be abided
We find excuses to make it proper.
When excuses gut the family,
Chaos favors the hierarchy.
When all the neighbors are in chaos
Blind loyalty is demanded.
#59 "Serving Others"
While serving others, be as reserved as you can be.
Be like Tao, nurture all things without influencing them.
This is possible through moderation
Free yourself from the constraints of your own ideas.
Respect all things as they are and remove their limits.
Embrace this virtue and your limits are removed as well.
Find within yourself both solid ground and yielding sky.
Be at one with Tao and the landscape creates itself.
Limitless you achieve immortality.
