Draw
a circle.
Draw a line,
through its middle,
in your mind. Within that
circle, on that line, draw yet
another circle there, just as the 1st -
you choose the size and where upon the line
it falls. And in the spaces left unclaimed, on either
side, if there is room, draw yet another circle there. And
others still until the line is full. This string of worlds, sized large
or small or mixed, is ready now. The secret of the Tao is
held within. The universe, the path you choose - the
distance 'round each world alone, when added
to the others, is equal to the measure of the
first. You drew the circle. Drew the
line. Drew the others. Chose
their size. The secret
of the Tao is held
within
.

Very nicely done~
I am not as familiar with Taoism as I could and perhaps should be~
But I know many others are~
Thanks for sharing~

Thank you for the challenge my friend.  You have expressed a sense of harmony in your words and in the image that you have portrayed here by your words.  This is in my opinion a positive demonstration of Tao.  -Bob
