Thoughts Along the Journey - Verse 67 - The Three Treasures

     All the qualities of the Tao are within us.  When we tap into that rich treasure house and endeavor to live its wisdom, our lives flow with harmony and peace.

     Love is the great protector.  It is the armor against hate, prejudice and anger.  It resolves conflict and strengthens both foe and friend.  When all are strengthened, all are victorious.

     Nature is both spare and lavish.  Through economy, She bestows the riches of the Earth upon those who use Her gifts wisely.

     "The meek shall inherit the Earth."  Do those words sound familiar?  There is strength in silence, in quieting the towering ego and bringing forth in our nature that wisdom which was given from on high.  Meekness is not weakness.  It takes strength to turn away wrath.  Leading with gentleness and calm, leading with compassion and remaining humble, we honor our Tao nature.
