   I google book, chapter and verse stuff usually.   
      
   About the only one that sticks is DDJ 1.1, the one   
   where it says the one that is isn't always the one.   
      
   Among all the interpretations I've seen so far, one I like goes   
   along the lines of how this Dao, of Daoism, is an unusual Dao.   
   And, as far as I am aware, I made that one up myself.   
      
   It's not the same Dao as the Buddhists nor Confucians,   
   what with their right-this and right-that which leave me left   
   with far too many rights to follow to get me turned around.   
      
   That is not to say that there isn't a Great Dao,   
   the one from which Yi emerges. I forget which verse that is.   
   Since it could be seen as two verses combined into one.
