Thoughts Along the Journey - Verse 74 - Let it Be

     All things have their life span.  The seeds of the 10,000 things have their growth, fruition and demise.  The Tao is all pervasive and infills all.  It lets us complete ourselves in our own way.  Yet we are ever connected to It.

     It is the eternal part of us that does not change, though our bodies do.  Our spirit is infinite and immortal.

     This is true of all of us, no matter how we have chosen to complete ourselves.  When we discard our bodies, our spirits rise to join in the vast oneness of the Tao.  Therefore, all life is sacred.
