~The Beauty of Black Panther~

What colour  do you take 
in your life role?  
The power of shape-shifting 
is yours  
The sensing of energy 
is yours

the ~knowingness~ of you
and
The power  from within
brings always  an awareness
of

The Danger of Strength

At person at birth
is soft and tender,
but is rigid and hard
at death  

It is the same with everything
  In growth, trees and plants
are pliant and tender
but in death
they are withered and tough  

So the hard and the strong
have affinity with death
but the soft and tender
are companions of life

Therefore those who rely
solely on strength
will not conquer,
a powerful tree invites the axe  

The place of great strength
is below,
but gentle softness
dwells above  

A good warrior is not  warlike
A good fighter is not  wrathful
A good conqueror is not  grasping
A good leader is not  overbearing

This is being
the equal companion
of the Universe
the highest ideal
of all the Ages Universal

Tao strives in neither direction
but is sure in all its action.  
It utters no sounds
but is sure in its response
It does not call
but all come to it by themselves  
it does not plan
but is certain in all its works  
The net of the Universe
is vast and widely meshed
yet nothing is ever lost from it

I welcome you back
beloved  {{{Black Panther}}}}
May you always 
show the way of 
the Beauty that is You
