81: "True words aren't eloquent
eloquent words aren't true
Wise men don't need to prove their point
Men who need to prove their point aren't wise."
To eloquence and grace I dedicate my life!
My words might not ring true to you...
The Tao's spirit nourishes through strife
A ministrel's song, an ancient prophet's truth...
A worthy pupil I?
Perhaps a learned fool!
My mind wonders drunkenly from verse to verse.
In life I'm as stubborn as a mule,
and always want to prove my point first.
So what? Did Master Lao-tzu write for me?
Perhaps to teach this goat how to think.....
To love and laugh, to reach tranquility
into the soft and yielding waters sink.
