Further Thoughts Along the Journey - Verse 7 - How the Tao Lasts Forever

     Imagine a friend who asks nothing of you, who listens to your hopes and sorrows, who is always there when needed, never judging, always comforting.  Imagine this friend giving you all the companionship, peace and joy, as much as you are capable of receiving at the moment.  Imagine a selfless host, healing your body and mind and guiding your spirit with understanding and wisdom.

     This is the Tao, the Author of the Universe, the gentle Lover that gives and asks nothing in return.  Its effect is eternal; it changes lives and living day by day in harmony with Its Spirit and emulating Its ways brings you all you could ever need in this life.
