The great Way

Predawn red sky at Arapaho Bend Natural Area

The great Way is easy,
yet people prefer the side paths.

Be aware when things are out of balance.
Stay centered within the Tao.

When rich speculators prosper
While farmers lose their land;

when government officials spend money
on weapons instead of cures;

when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
while the poor have nowhere to turn-

all this is robbery and chaos.
It is not in keeping with the Tao.

Tao Te Ching – Verse 53

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.
