Tao is like water
It sinks to the low place
Which all human beings abhor

It does not seek credit
Or praise
It is not proud or boastful

I must learn
Correct me
Maybe I have made a mistake
That is fine

I am humble
I will learn

Would you care for green tea?
Perhaps you would like to try Jian Bing? (Chinese Crepes)

Mmmm tea is so good
Nourishing
It cleanses the body
It restores me

The Tao
Also nourishes and restores

The Tao is wise mother

I am content
Lacking nothing

I wish I could see
All times and places
At the same time

To see the people come and go
I like to see the big picture
I wish I could be in different places at once

On the putting green
I watched the ball break

To my left the cars came and left the parking lot
In the distance a man jogs down the street
I watch him become smaller

To my right I watch a family with a young child
Leave the driving range

I can only watch in wonder
In amazement
At the Tao

So beautiful
Ever changing
Coming and going
One time to next time

If you spend many hours alone like me
You know the Tao

i walked in a garden
i saw roses, daisies, bougainvilleas
pagoda and peonies too
and somehow they reminded me of you

the roses reminded me of your lips
how it's so red and lovely
how it curves whenever your smile along with your eyes
how it separates when you laugh

the daisies reminded me of your eyes
how it slowly blooms beautifully in morning
how lovely when it slowly closes at night
how chatoyant it was when touched by light

the bougainvillea reminded me of your being
how you stood strong despite everything
how you stayed lucent and beautiful
how you let yourself bloom in many colours

the pagoda reminded me of your skin
how it's yellowish and eternally beautiful
how smooth and soft it was
how selcouth it seems in my retina

the peonies reminded me of your heart
how it's still exquisite despite of its fragile figure
how it's still eesome even though it looks wrinkled
how it stays strong and pulchritudinous

walking in the garden felt serendipitious
it felt like walking
inside your existence
and i liked it.
