wander on the wind
destinations mean nothing
when love is your guide
Chapter 20 | Tao Te Ching
Admit your lack of understanding
and your problems will disappear.
There is little difference between yes and no –
between good and evil.
Are you required to fear what others fear?
Are you required to discuss the question of the day?
People of the world celebrate like life is a feast.
I remain still, humble, and unattached.
People of the world have more than enough –
and continue to consume.
I remain unattached to possessions
and drift through this world.
People seek light.
I am content with the dark.
People seek knowledge.
I am content with not knowing.
People categorize and judge.
I am content without discrimination.
People strive to a destination.
I am content to wander.
I am different from ordinary people.
I rely on the Mother of Creation.
My humble commentary:
In the end, there’s no way to know where we’re going. Take love with you and release yourself from expectations. Be a creative force for love. Tomorrow morning, I’ll wake up and try to follow this wisdom. Today, I’ve already allowed worry to capture my freedom.
Aaron: Thanks for sharing! Thoughts with words are meant to be shared. Thoughts with music even better. Thoughts with words, actions and deeds better still. From stillness and silence come creativity, joy and laughter?
