24 of 81, Poems from the Tao, Poetry, Photography, Spoken Word, and Digital Art

24

The moon shines
Only in darkness
Only when it faces the sun

There are times
The earth blocks the moon
From the sun
Then too, the earth
Is in darkness

The moon knows
The earth knows
To welcome the dark
To welcome the rest

It is the natural way of things
Soon there will be light

The earth knows
To welcome the glow of the moon
Then too it has light in the dark

Shine when the Tao asks you to shine
Bask in the glow of others
Rest when the Tao has given you darkness

Spoken Word (one of my favorites)

Words are my own. Digital art is a composite of my own work and images found in the public domain.

We can really only ever heal ourselves and set example. A healthy body heals itself and healthy mind heals the body. But that may sound not quite right to one who is ailing. I have always found sleep to be the best medicine when I am struggling. Sending you positive vibes, my friend:)
