The TAO Of Daniel: POETRY

What is poetry? Well, maybe it’s difficult to define…

But what’s certain is that it’s not just words on a page.

Everything in life is poetry. Taking a walk, drinking coffee, making love (especially making love!).

Writing too, of course. It could be that every moment we’re alive has poetic potential!

A moment without poetry is a moment wasted. It could also be that the boring, ordinary moments are absolute necessary for the other more poetic ones to emerge.

Either way, our human lives are in constant service of poetry, and vice versa.

Poetry is what gets us out of bed in the morning. Poetry is emotion and is the vital energy required for life.

It’s that silver, sweet lining at the edge of every cloud; the icing on the cake; the sunshine after the rain. I’m not sure if it’s possible to sustain, let alone enjoy, oneself without it.

Perhaps it is. Perhaps it isn’t. But poetry will always remain, will be searched for and will be found; in the small things and the big; the sweet and sour; the savoury and spectacular.

There is always space and time for miracles. Only a single moment is needed; less than a moment even.

The Tao asks you kindly to surrender to this; to accept it and wholeheartedly embrace it.

To live the most poetic life imaginable, and to die also in the most poetic way possible.
