    Organismic Haiku
    by Brian O'Neill, 11/18/96

    In response to our first Haiku here on the forum, I'd like to offer a second 
    and third, along with a quote
    
    Clear mountain water
    
    The life of ten thousand things
    
    Like the highest good
    
    
    Contact boundary
    
    Clear organismic wisdom
    
    Whole morality
    
    
    All things arise from Tao.
    They are nourished by Virtue.
    They are formed from matter.
    They are shaped by environment.
    Thus the ten thousand things all respect Tao
    and honour Virtue.
    Respect of Tao and honour of Virtue are
    not demanded,
    But they are in the nature of things.
