RAFTING THE ETERNAL TAO

(c) 2009 Howard McQueen

The dynamic acceptance
of being responsible with the grand gift
the eternal journey,
immersed and connected with LIFE.

Ever so gently
guiding our tiller,
ever so deftly,
navigating and course-correcting,
remaining in our center,
witnessing all that ebbs and flows.
Sometimes a torrent,
that the ego wants to label torment,
sometimes a trickle,
that the ego wants to label way too little,
this nameless
sacred,
infinitely sparkling,
eternal,
living and life giving
energetic river,
the gift of experiencing living
on the infinite, eternally flowing Tao.
