  we both come from an uninterrupted
  heritage, thousands of years
  in the making
  and thus, I innately relate
  to so much of your writing
  because in it, I see tethers
  to depths
  I sadly, will never amount
  to fathom, for myself...;
  still, in You
  and those genius' like you
  I remain
  leaching, one read at a time
  whatever wisdom, i can glean
  just
  so i can strive, to be worthy
  of this pitiful, poetic gift
  I wield with such, foolish
  abandon..
  yearning
  to exist, within the gifted guidance
  of Tao, balance
  and Kǒng Fūzǐ' veracity of Ren
  to cultivate, what pitiful meaning
  I can, from my chosen way of life:
  'What are doing? Stringing along
  Waiting..'
  '..Oh what a feeling a tipply tingling
  Smiling away
  Yanging the Yin'

    Such beauty in your comment amd compliments gives me cause to blush, like this cheeky take on wordplay with Daoist terms.
    My 1st thought, on writing this was, am I being disrespectful to Dao?
    Should I be reverent and not write in such fashion? Then realized and smiled. No, for this is the Dao!
    
    I sometimes say to people I am daoist then review this thought, to say I am daoist is not to be Daoist?
    Hmm. So sometimes I alternate this claim with, I lean towards Daoism.
    A man from Africa once requested a poem for his Church. I offered him
    this Hymn for his Pastor
    Glory to God in the Highest
    The troubles of the week peel away on Sunday Morn
    Sing in Praise Uplifting Spirit Joy Love Thanks
    The organ shakes my very core
    Like the Holy Spirit Annointing
    With folk we share the Parson's Words
    Delivered from
    The Almighty
    Glory to God in the Highest
    
    I invariably comment, Not bad for a Daoist I say in a non~Daoist way,

    (not bad at all, now
    you just need to specify which of the god's
    this was written for..)
    lol
    as for daoism, or similarly themed
    pearls of wisdom
    reconstructed to fit, in some notion
    of rigid faith-based, systemised
    business model..
    my humble opinion, is mixed-up
    like the contrasting, duality
    found in most of existence;
    to me
    'what Truth I can
    decipher
    is that within which, I
    invest'
    ergo
    my core beliefs may be based
    in one ideology, but be garnished
    with the nuggets, i choose
    from alternative and even opposing
    ideologies
    since, life
    itself
    is so random, i find it futile
    to grab one flag and die upon-it
    trying to make, it
    fit, in-to
    every border of life, i cross
    as I traverse this gifted life
    and no
    that doesn't mean, my 'faith'
    is any less
    or distracted or fragmented
    rather, it means I'm free ~ fluid
    to interpret, to manoeuvre: to flow
    with my believes, in a way
    that means I am open to further growth
    and greater understanding, anywhere
    at any time
    since i accept, 'i know nothing at all'..
    see, i seek Truth
    while doubting its capacity
    for complete, Veracity
    and this I do
    with the utmost, sincerity
    and thus
    I am that broken wannabe
    Taoist, with which
    I choose to philosophically
    identify with..
    lol
    (forgive me, I do like to rant-on
    endlessly
    like the fool I am)

    I applaud your approach and attitude towards religious and philosophical thought, it is a sentiment I share. For me, Daoist thought is a description of the universe and how humans thread a weave throughout. I periodically remind God, the Christian god, that I am here to take uo whatever call. Perhaps God works through me in my interaction with people and the world. My mother encouraged me to seek a personal relationship with Jesus. If there is any credence to the Trinity, I will find out upon death, or not. I do not wrestle with propositions to which answers are not forthcoming.
    
    I engage with trolls on facebook, for they are lonely souls seeking power which us lacking in their lives. One turned friendly and I refrained from pointing out his failure in hus endeavour. That is malice.
    
    I tell bitcoin scamners to remember my number and should I become wealthy,. I will share with them if they are in financial difficulty. They may likely be, to allow themselves to be exploited and lie directly to me whilst trying ti steal my money. Sharing ny phone screen, I allowed one to view me lig onto ny bank account You may steal my lasr $105 dollars I di not care, I have 50 copies of my own poetry book which will be converted to cash You may steal my identity, along with it"s attached debt. He hung up immediately and I scanned my phone and changed password, inforned the bank of what had transpired, sorry will not do that again. They had immediately stopped my account when screen sharing was detected.
    
    Do you speak a dialect? My mother was Teochew, 潮州話。I am glad our conversation has grown.
