LEISURE

Birds chirp, vanguard for coming rain,
Dog bark skitters through twilight village.
Smoke raises a column through the pines,
Contented families dine in golden windows.


Life's pulse is gauged in the hollows, the intervals between events.
If you want to see Tao, you must discern these spaces. This requires
leisure, the chance to sit and contemplate, and the opportunity to
respond to inner urgings.

If you can find a place to retreat, you can make a life where Tao
will flood into you. Out in the woods, or in the mountains, or even in
small villages where the times are slow paced and the people sensitive
to nature, there is the possibility of knowing the deep and the
profound. Only when you have the time to accumulate an unshakable belief
and faith can you glimpse the Tao in which there is restfulness and a
natural sense of what is right.
