Missing piece

There are times when the path seems too daunting.  The most challenging times are when the sense of unworthiness, inability, or nothing to offer glue my feet to the path's opening. 
Lao Tzu wrote:

If there is to be peace in the world
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home
There must be peace in the heart.

 The often scary and overwhelming truth that begins to melt the glue, is the realization that I am part of the wheel that connects everyone and everything. I am part of the dance. And so, I enter the forest. After all, "There is only the dance" (T.S. Elliot).
