As one walks the path of Tao, one of the inherent outcomes is an increase in creativity. This creativity can manifest in many, many ways from business ideas to art or poetry, to finding a way to get your kid to listen to you. The bottom line is that as one slows down and turns inside you'll find that you have something inside you that you would like to share with the world.

Here's a Haiku I have written derived from the experiences of my week so far.

The forest beckons

The chipmunk stares intently

One second one mind

Green buds on branches

The morning air smells crisp and clean

A dew drop splashes

Deadwood on the path

Ancient souls of the forest

A maple seed awakes

She has lost her way

The ego mind has emerged

Tao silently sees
