Further Thoughts Along the Journey Verse 14 - It is....

     Whatever you know It to be in your heart, It is.  And so It is soundless, invisible and without form.  That freedom and belief in the Spirit within each one of us given to us by Grace, is the gift to choose, to make of the Tao as we will, defined by our own individual perception.

     We can make of It a great tyrant, a great father or a great friend.  Defining the Tao empirically is impossible.  It is many different things to many people.

     We can choose to harmonize with It, resist It, or ignore It, but It is ever aware of us, giving of Its love, whether or not we choose to accept it.

     Joined with the Tao and in Its flow, life is a paradise.  Indifferent to It, taking up our own yoke in the world, sets us up for a life of pain and grief.

     We choose.
