Further Thoughts Along the Journey - Verse 8 - The Flow of the Tao

     As gently as water flows,
     taking nothing, giving all,
     the Tao reflects the wonders
     and colors of all
     it has made.
 
     It replenishes the desert lands
     within our minds.
     It nourishes our souls
     with green pastures
     of life.

     The softest element
     can be the strongest.
     With time and devotion,
     It makes Its presence known
     gently and lovingly to all.
