Tao is Wind

I am wind. I am spontaneous, variable, sometimes soft and gentle, other times a raging tornado. I can chisel mountains into striped patterns like canyon walls, I can calm water and blow a hurricane.

I am invisible but you know I am there. I am the most needed of the elements. Without food a human can last a week, without water, three days, without air...only 2 minutes.

I am the breath of meditation...the breath of life. I am the whistle in the wind sung from the lips of Tao.

Unlike water I need nothing to contain me; I am totally free to go where I wish. Unlike water I am light and subtle. People rarely notice me. I am everywhere.

I am Wind, I am Tao.
