The Tao of Nan (Poem)

The Tao of Nan


Imagine where you want to be
and you’ll be there.
See yourself with the one you desire
and it will happen.
Bet on nothing
and something will come.

Retreat when you feel your heart cringing --
You will set yourself free.

Listen to people as if you
are listening to yourself
and you will hear them.

Set goals that you think are
beyond your reach
and when you achieve them
you will be grateful.

Expect nothing
and everything is a gift.

Expect everything
and anything will lead
to everything.

Feng shui your innards –
Your world will change.
Your furniture will
rearrange itself.
Steve McQueen’s motorcycle
will slow when it roars
near your door.

The Tao of Nan
is the Tao of letting go,
letting go of it all,
so it can return
of its own
volition.
