The one that annoys And disturbs you most of all Call that one 'teacher'

Dusts dance in sun beams Particles gleaming golden Moved by breath of air

a new beginning fresh sprout reaching for the sun tender innocense

yes breath in clean air in the morning at sun's rise nurture clarity

Endless renewal Each day I am born again Each moment a joy

Don't chase the stars Sow seeds for a complete self A star you will be

hahaha ... tag team haiku

Soz VeeCee ... jumped in before you Places yet to see Beyond imagination Mind cannot conceive

Left it all at peace Trouble gone now he withdraws No trail left behind

We leave tomorrow Destination is unknown Just a direction

I can understand that, if our ideal is to become indistinct and indescribable, then having any features detracts away from this ideal. I have learned that achieving self-nature is the art and science of one who journeys Tao and that self-nature and universal nature are the same. Virtue and nature are so closely linked that they are one. So in my view, one of self-nature operates in tune with their nature, and hence universal nature, thus all expressions will be imbued with virtue.

Hehehe .... *stands and applauds* I totally agree ... BRAVO!

dripping to my heart Jade dew follows the pathway sinking my focus

In traditional schools of Tao virtue, or de, is the natural expression of one who has achieved Tao. Once all the coarse elements of one's personality have been sublimated the raw essence that remains is one's true personality or nature. Thus the practice of virtue is not 'adding' anything at all but rather an excavation to the root and core or one's being and letting 'de' naturally and effortlessly permeate all of our thoughts, words and actions.

De/Teh (Virtuosity, Virtue, Power) A Daoist formula for de is "dao within." It may be the result of innate skill or of careful cultivation and training. Translators most commonly use "virtue" as a translation but hurry to remind us that it is 'virtue' in the ancient Greek sense of an excellence. 'Power' is an alternative translation that reflects the link between de and successful action or achievement for its possessor. Given our use of an aesthetic conception of interpretation of dao, we may think of one's de as her 'virtuosity.' Virtuosity exhibits itself in a performer by making his "interpretation" of the thing performed (a ceremony, chant or ritual) work in the context. Thus de links dao with correct performance. This elegantly blends in the perceived overtones of "power" in the form of the performer's ability to respond to clues in the context that make the performance "work." The "powerful" performance achieves the dao's goal in real time. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/taoism/ Following this, the Tao Teh Ching, or daodejing, has been translated as "The Way and the Power" or even "The Power of the Way".

leaving all ways there I take the road less travelled the path of power

When words dissipate And descriptions cease to be Then we find accord

Thank you for this mYTHmAKER

Constancy The Universe is in constant change, yet through all the changes can we remain constant within our virtue? When the wind and thunder of life incessantly stirs the surface can we maintain the stable axis of our own true nature? In the face of innumerable distractions and transitory concepts can we persevere with the one truth of Universal reality? To be constant is to be like the mountain, deep rooted, still, enduring, strong, and firm.

A little like this perhaps.... into a puddle the raindrops begin to fall reflection distorts
