24 of 81, Poems from the Tao, Spoken Wordy by Pryde Foltz

---

In honour of the lunar eclipse tonight, I have jumped ahead in my Tao uploads to 24. This verse also happens to be one of my favorites:)

24 of 81

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
