Ryan. It is apparently a fairly loose interpretation of the views of Lao Tze. Here is the poem:<br /><br />“Always we hope someone else has the answer.<br />Some other place will be better, some other time, it will turn out.<br />This is it.<br />No one else has the answer, no other place will be better, and it has already turned out.<br />At the center of your being, you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.<br />There is no need to run outside for better seeing, nor to peer from a window.<br />Rather abide at the center of your being; for the more you leave it, the less you learn.<br />Search your heart and see<br />the way to do is to be.”<br /><br />Winton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.com
