Tao 12

TWELVE

The five colors blind the eye.

The five tones defen the ear.

The five flavors dull the taste.

Racing and hunting madden the mind.

Precious things lead one astray.

Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.

He lets go of that and chooses this.

I have become a vigilant guardian of the ruins of a past life.  I was husband, protector, papa.  I was an apologist and promoter of my faith in Christ.  Could this be a temporary exile like David or Joseph when they fled their homeland and hid in countries and cultures they once resisted?  Or is this a process of letting go of  that to choose…this.  What is this?
