道德经 – and let it be

道德经 – and let it be

Let it go – let it be
Give each their space
Especially yourself
There’s ever enough
To conclude it thus
And move on free
After a long journey
Put your hat on top
Of your own head
Rather than another
No matter the claim
For you are ever you
Your one and only
As are all others
Each for themselves
They, we, all are soul
Consciousness divine
Having an experience
In this world of now
Here in this moment
First of all for oneself
Together with others
Close, and distant too
Connected and linked
All unified by life
Love and nature
Beyond the duality
Of dogma’s division
Each a spark of God.

Tao Te Ching 道德经 — a free reflection of verse #1

Spirit expressed is not the eternal spirit. What can be expressed is not eternal.

Non-being is the beginning of heaven and earth. Being is the origin of individual existence.

Therefore, looking towards non-being leads to contemplating the divine essence, and focusing towards being to contemplate the limitations of duality. However, both are one, from the same source. They are different only in name.

In its entirety, this is a great truth. And a still deeper truth of this secret is the gate through which miracles appear.
