The Silent Wisdom of DAO
Why quote from wisdom
if we do not apply it
in our daily lives.
What is described as DAO
is beyond what is uttered.
We lead by practice.
DAO practice makes perfect.
Effortless practice.
Yin and Yang in harmony
without bragging or boasting.
Better then — Silence.
Turn within — toward DAO;
without uttering.
Be humble — with thanksgiving.
The Spirit gives us guidance.
DAO is Wisdom.
Wisdom that needs no boasting.
Boasting is hindrance;
enemy of Harmony.
The Spirit speaks in silence.
About this poem
Of DAO: He who truly knows DAO, practices DAO in silence and has no desire of utterance. He who knows Dao is gifted with the tongue and is boastfully loquacious without ceasing.
