The Emergence of a Masterpiece

| The Tao Chapter 45 – My Fifth Interpretation|

A work in progress may look chaotic, but it is perfect and whole.

To be full, on must become empty; that is surrender.

To gain wisdom, one must seem foolish; that is turn away from accepting the norm just because.

Art, when in creation lacks form, but at completion is exquisite. The beauty was always present.

Therefore, allow things to unfold in their natural flow. When you stop interfering, the perfection will emerge.

LIVING THE TAO: If you are frustrated, waiting for something to turn out the way you would like, and the events are out of your control, stop. Release the frustration, allow events to flow, and the masterpiece will emerge as it should.

In 2018 my focus was to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. Now I continue into 2019 with my fifth reading. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
