Day 16 - #59

"In governing people and serving heaven, 

there is nothing better than moderation.

To be moderate is to follow Tao without straying.

To follow Tao without straying is to 

become filled with good energy.

To become filled with good energy is to

overcome all things.

To overcome all things is to know that

all things are possible.

She who knows that all things are possible

is fit to govern people.

Because she is one with the mother,

her roots go deep,

her foundation stands firm, 

her life lasts long,

her vision endures."

As Emily Dickinson said, "…dwell in Possibility." But what does that really mean? And to overcome means rotten things stand in your way. Sometimes the most rotten thing is my own attitude, that voice inside that says, "No, this is impossible."

But isn't that part of taking the bad with the good? Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, expect nothing? Where even is the room for possibility in that? 

Not as I see, but as God sees. Let go already and just believe. You've waited long enough.

Or so I whisper to myself, when I can't hear anything more.
