Mind Like Water: Tao 12

December 24th, 2008

Too much colour blinds the eye,
Too much music deafens the ear,
Too much taste dulls the palate,
Too much play maddens the mind,
Too much desire tears the heart.

In this manner the sage cares for people:
He provides for the belly, not for the senses;
He ignores abstraction and holds fast to substance.

Mind Like Water: Tao 25

December 2nd, 2008

There is a mystery,
Beneath abstraction,
Silent, depthless,
Alone, unchanging,
Ubiquitous and liquid,

Mind LIke water 62

The mother of nature.
It has no name, but I call it “the Way”;
It has no limit, but I call it “limitless”.
