Loyce joined me for #51 and then I read and covered #19.
#19 "Real Education"
Don’t aspire to be holy or smart,
You will finally find happiness,
Don’t inquire about morality or justice,
You will finally be perfect.
Don’t create things in order to profit,
You will finally be secure.
If all that fails to inspire you
Stay as humble and simple as possible
And at least you won’t be selfish.
51 "The Cycle"
Life is a gift received from Tao,
It sustains all things as part of that gift.
Everything emerges perfect, unconscious, and free
Harmonizing with all things,
Completely maturing in its own time.
All things exist, and are nurtured through Tao,
It fosters and provides for them completely.
Tao does not possess or interfere
Each expressing and maturing in their own nature.
When their experience is complete
Tao receives them again.
