Songs for Our Journey 45

The Tao Te Ching is my favorite book, and Stephen Mitchell's is my favorite translation.  There is no run-around with Lao Tzu. 
He goes straight to the essentials.  And of all his verses
​I think this one is my favorite; it sums up the truth so succinctly.

See The World As Yourself
lyrics Lao Tzu from translation by Stephen Mitchell
melody © K Hannan

See the world as yourself
Have faith in the way things are
See the world as yourself
Have faith in the way things are

Love the world as yourself
Love the world as yourself
Loving the world as you love Love itself

​See how you shine in everything
Now you can care for all things
Now you can care for all things
