Thoughts Along the Journey - Verse 57 - Actualization

     The Tao does not will, command nor restrict.  The Tao allows, for each as been created to complete themselves.  The seeds of completion are in themselves.  With purity of mind and heart and spirit, the Tao does so perfectly;  Its beauty evident in its fruits.

     The highest nature is in us, bequeathed by the great Force that does not force.  Our growth is governed by the care and love we are given.  With our roots in the Tao we become as beautiful as our Creator.

     If love and freedom are withheld, we grow impoverished.  With faith and an open heart, we once again can become the beautiful beings that were created before the world began.
