Only when I resist the name a thing has been given
Can I discover the true nature of the thing
Can I discover the true nature of the thing

What it seems
All I know is myth
Particular things
I create by naming
In lands appearing
Particular things
I create by naming
In lands appearing
Before my eyes
Where nothing is
Just what it seems
Since what it seems
Is in my mind
The Space Between
The space between
The dark and light
Is sometimes just
A narrow gap
The dark and light
Is sometimes just
A narrow gap
And in this lies
A beauty plain
Where truth is told
In high relief
No shadow cast
No grey to mask
On one side white
The other black
Patterns of Existence
Lao Tzu’s words can be pretty difficult to wrap a Western, science-educated mind around (my own struggle is continuous), beginning with understanding the term “the Tao” itself.
Light in the Forest of Non-Being
Sunlight cracks through the canopy
Spreading through the boughs
Falling to the forest floor
Where I sit
With the birdsong
And the whisper of the wind
Through rustling branches
Spreading through the boughs
Falling to the forest floor
Where I sit
With the birdsong
And the whisper of the wind
Through rustling branches
All there is
Is me
And nature
The balance of darkness and the light
I cannot find balance
Without loving darkness
In equal measure to the light
Without loving darkness
In equal measure to the light
Beauty ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #18
Beauty in the beholder’s eye
As if we create the beauty
As if we create the beauty
But Nature in all her ways
When left to her own devices
She paints and sculpts
Beauty undeniable
That is just the Way
The Dao, Nature’s way
Beautiful is
All that follows the Way
