When a Flower Was a Flower
Philosophers grapple with questions
of the meaning and purpose of life.
Theologians engage in endless debates
over the nature and aspects of God.
Biologists dissect and probe
beneath the surface of all living things.
But the sage just looks at the Tao
as it dances through all of life,
and smiles and enjoys
his ignorance.
When we first began to learn,
things became more and more complex.
Now things become simpler and simpler.
We are returning to the direct apprehension of life
that we had when we were children,
when a flower was a flower
and we laughed and cried with ease.

It Is Time to Really Live
The youth stands outside of life
and wonders about it.
The adult engages life
and wrestles with it.
The sage, with arms open wide,
lets life flow through,
like a river on its way to the sea.
Cast away the worries
that so limited your earlier years.
Welcome each dawn
with expectation and glee.
Let the day flow into you,
and out of you,
in contentment and joy.

Allowing Peace at Last
Instead of a jumble of scattered thoughts,
our minds now have a simple clarity,
seeing directly into pain and pleasure.
Instead of anxious fretful worry,
we now experience a patience of body and soul,
welcoming people as they are.
Instead of judgment and complaint,
we now bring a compassionate embrace of self and others,
allowing peace at last.
Stop for a moment and let your thoughts
gradually wind down.
How long does it take
before there is a restful emptiness?
How long can you remain there,
unruffled and still?
This is your training ground.
Here you are becoming a sage.

Dancing in the Winds of Change
The child rightly expects
to be cared for by others.
The youth still expects this,
but rebels against it
and lives in confusion and turmoil.
The adult works hard at arranging externals
in an attempt to provide security,
and lives in constant fear of losing everything.
But the sage plays life as a grand game,
seeing hard times as honorable opponents,
increasing wisdom and refining skill.
You financial or physical status is irrelevant
to your progress as a sage.
You may make decisions that do not work
as you had expected.
You may lose rather than gain security.
It does not matter.
Your mission is to be come a sage.
A calm and supple person,
dancing in the winds of change.

« Dew is water vapour, which, through the effect of radiation from the earth,
settles in fine droplets before dawn.
From earth to heaven and from heaven to earth, water makes a great circuit.
By evaporating into the atmosphere it is purified, because the different layers it passes through are all filters that remove impurities.
However, it is said in the treatises of alchemy that one night,
when it is finally ready, the universal spirit will come and visit,
and impregnate the water with its quintessence.
So when it falls again as dew on the grass, the flowers and all other vegetation,
the dew is happy because it knows that it brings life.
When we think of dew, we tend to focus on the end of its journey:
how it comes down to settle on earth.
But we should not forget that water first ascended as vapour into the atmosphere before it became dew.
And because it first went very high, when it condenses again to settle on the ground, it is the bearer of many vivifying elements. »
