The Humble Warrior

| The Tao Chapter 66 – My Fourth Interpretation|

Strong with great vigor, her feet are planted in the secure foundation of who she is;
Her legs are stable, commanding the energy of her stance;
Her spine and neck are in cooperation with her power;
And her gaze depicts her fortitude.

Yet those who follow her gladly do so without intimidation or fear because her heart exudes compassion.
Her firmly planted feet helps her followers to generate confidence.
Her uncompromised stature supports the development of self-determination and her mouth praises their efforts.

Together, they accomplish great feats with the dignity of all intact.

She leads toward greatness without force, but with a kind heart.
She is a humble warrior.

LIVING THE TAO: Today, I invite you to reflect on the first, second and third interpretations along with this fourth and ask, are there any shifts you are prepared to make today in relation to aligning with the art of living as shared in the Tao?

My 2018 focus is to intentionally live the Tao Te Ching. This is my fourth reading of Stephen Mitchell’s translation. I share my daily interpretations hoping to inspire you to do the same.

Embrace your journey. Experience bliss. Live the Tao.
