I Bow to the Tao
By Mr King
humility
stay close to me
ego
stay grounded
stable in the surroundings around me
flying too high
i crash into the sky
losing connection with my daily lesson
and with the people around me
impatient
trying to control and dominate
unable to wait
no longer free
has the Tao has abandoned me?
no
really now
eye see
i have abandoned the Tao
in my own self-centered egocentricity
not listening to the quiet voice of conscience
within stillness and simplicity
Dear Lord of All
within All
guide and humble me
from the blindness of my own self-absorbed condition
to be
to do
and yet again
to be
a time for each
and to be aware of what time is now
this is the Way
for without You
i realize i am nothing
yet through You
all becomes a possibility
life itself becomes reality
yet when i am attached
i am like a stone
and You oh Lord
You are the River
wearing me away
but when I place myself in Your Hands
You refine me into an instrument
of Your Universal Will
All thanks and praises are due to You...

Where is the Tao a man asked Kwang Tse. In the wheat. That low? Lower, it's in the pigs. That low? Lower, it's in the shit.
