Mao And The Tao Poem by Eugene Levich

i've seen the guy's photo. did he get rich like some other communists supposedly have? but Tao? let me do a little research online (of course) . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Description and uses of the concept The ba gua, a symbol commonly used to represent the Tao and its pursuit. The word Tao (道) has a variety of meanings in both ancient and modern Chinese language. Aside from its purely prosaic use to mean road, channel, path, principle, or similar, [1] the word has acquired a variety of differing and often confusing metaphorical, philosophical and religious uses. In most belief systems, the word is used symbolically in its sense of 'way' as the 'right' or 'proper' way of existence, or in the context of ongoing practices of attainment or of the full coming into being, or the state of enlightenment or spiritual perfection that is the outcome of such practices.[2] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - IT IS NOT A VERY CLEAR CONCEPT, is it? and the word used in various ways. of course you would know better than i. i did NOT even read carefully what i found online. bri ;)

i didn't recall reading this AND, just before viewing my previous comment, i was thinking to warn you about lurking Chinese. i may even have thought to warn about mail (again!) . i'd send it to MyPoemList but i think it is already there! bri :)

i think you had better not open any mail you receive from mainland china, especially any packages with loose wires hanging from a torn corner. and don't sniff any powder found in envelopes with the return address Chinese Communist Headquarters, Beijing. thanks for sharing. try to write a more serious poem next time. bri :) peace, etc. p.s. to MyPoemList it goes.
