The Tao of Wholeness
There can be no way
but The Way of the Tao.
He who knows Tao,
no longer has need to search;
for he has found completion.
Completion unites
the divisions within us;
our opposing parts.
Those are “the ten thousand things”
that distract us from The Way.
The Way is Wholeness,
the goal of the universe;
return to Oneness.
That is where all peace resides;
all returned to harmony.
There is but one Way,
called The Eternal Tao.
All strive to find it.
That search is never complete,
for completion is Wholeness.
About this poem
He who knows The Eternal Tao remains silent. He who speaks of Tao does not know The Eternal Tao.
