Lao Tse On the Nature of the Way

14

Waterlilies Mt. Fuji	we look, we see nothing, we call it a spirit	we listen, we hear nothing, we call it silence	we touch, we feel nothing, we call it infinitesimal
	these three voids cannot be plumbed-- they become one	rising they do not shine setting they do not dim	continuously creating the unnameables flow back to their original nothingness
	shape without form image without depth vague shadow	walk up to it you'll see no head	stalk behind it you'll catch no tail
	keep track of the way that was	you'll master each moment now	knowing the beginning of the maze of history	unwinds the thread along the way
