I Am Born Again


I am born again when I realize
I am not who I thought I was.

I am born again when I discover
that everything is connected.

I am born again when I let go
of trying to control my future.

I am born again when I stop
looking for security in my past.

I am born again when I watch
the unfolding Tao before me.

I am born again when I listen
to the voice of wisdom inside me.

I am born again when I recognize
I have no need to be saved.

    Summer 2010

    Slats whistle with bees
    in the honey comb

    Winnowing the flack
    Clogging anthills

    Circling the volcano
    Ruptures cap

    Dawn is the sky
    Heralded evil

    Scratch the surface
    Oil slicks bleed

    Remove the glint
    From the broken eye

    I really love this post. For me, it says it all.

    On the other hand, it does spur a question. Your blog is entitled Christian Taoism. How can it be Christian without the need to be saved?

    Maybe it's time we expanded the definition of "Christian," then. What do you think?
