Today had its ups and downs but I got the opportunity to practice my craft with Ellen and her #77 and Melissa who chose #71. Then Julie joined me with #54.
#54 "Observing Virtue"
Tend to Tao in your life and it will never be uprooted.
Hold fast to Tao and it will never slip away.
Filled with Tao, respect the children and they will respect the children
That simple virtue will continue for every generation.
This can only start with an individual and when her virtue can be realized
She will cultivate it in her family and it will become great.
They will cultivate this virtue in their community and it will continue to grow,
Naturally spreading across the nation and becoming abundant.
Because it is abundant it will touch every part of the Universe.
How do I know this is the way?
By quietly observing myself.
#71 "To Know We Don’t Know"
To be aware that one does not know is healthy for all things.
Avoiding awareness of this is a current plague.
By acknowledging you have been infected
You can become aware and move toward healing.
The Master has cured herself
She is aware that she does not know.
She is healthy in all aspects.
#77 "The Bending of a Bow"
Tao acts on the world as the bending of a bow.
The top is forced down when the bottom is moved up.
It is impossible for the one to act
Without the other responding.
Unlike man, Tao is patient and neutral
Quietly adjusting excesses and deficiencies,
Taking from what is too much and giving to what isn’t enough.
Ordinary men go against Tao,
Taking resources from the areas that are deficient,
Giving resources to the areas that compulsively consume.
The Master knows all things are being adjusted.
Although she cannot always see it in action
She has faith it is working through her.
In this way, she allows her actions to unfold
Neither dwelling on them nor taking credit.
Aligned with Tao they complement all things.
