GO WITH THE FLOW
Tao is so vast - it is easily overlooked.
Tao is forever flowing - yet holds its place.
When misfortunes strike and Tao seems lost:
It returns with unfailing loyalty.
When faiths fail and beliefs fade:
Tao is still there, always.
When Tao seems faraway:
Look! - it is right at your side.
Go with the flow:
Stay with Tao!
Tao is
essentially impersonal and oblivious to prayer or invocation. To
purposefully
exploit or bargain with Tao is risible.
However, just as an individual yields personality, so Tao may yield impersonality, for
an affinity between them to be established.
Such
concepts as 'daimons', 'guardian angels', 'spirit
guides', even the anima/animus of psychology, may
represent qualities of Tao
in a simplified, personalised fashion. Tao may even 'wear a human face': the
face of anyone behaving in accord with its principles.
