Credo

Postby Garzo » Thu Jul 14, 2005 6:43 am

A friend sent me this:
The food that I share with others
Is the food that nourishes me.

The strength I spend for others
Is the strength that I retain.

The freedom I seek for others
Will make me forever free.

The pain I ease in others
Works to take away my pain.

The affront I forgive in others
By GRACE is forgiven of me.

The truth I affirm in others
Rings true through all eternity.

The good that I see in others
My greatest good shall be.

The love that I feel for others
Comes back my life to cheer.

The load that I lift from others
Makes my load to disappear.

The path that I walk with others
Is the path GOD walks with me.
-- Garzo.

Larry, exactly but do go on, The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Good news I'd say

Not too bad, but the concept of 道 "dao" and adhering to it makes my life a lot easier than the "god" idea ever did.

The Wiccan Rule of Three expands that a bit along with a little bit of Libertarian TANSTAAFL:
Ever mind the Rule of Three
Three times what thou givest returns to thee
This lesson well, thou must learn
Thee only gets what thou dost earn!

Perhaps Tao is a bit of 未知の道 to you, BD. But the most common on-reading for michi is doo.


道可道非常道
A path that can be defined as a path is not a permanent path.
-- 道徳経一章


If there exists a permanent path and if adhering to it makes my life easier, I don't know.

Yes, poetic license, as Katy commented above; but ihas someone written a grammar of poetic license please? Even in poetry there are things you can do and things you can't. All right, I don't mean that; but things which, if you do them, no one will understand or like.
