"PUSH FAR ENOUGH INTO THE VOID
HOLD FAST ENOUGH TO THE QUIETNESS
AND OF THE TEN THOUSAND THINGS
NON BUT CAN BE WORKED ON BY YOU
I HAVE BEHELD THEM WITHER THEY GO BACK
SEE ALL THINGS HOWSOEVER THEY FLOURISH
RETURN TO THE ROOTS FROM WHICH THEY GREW"
"THIS RETURN TO THE ROOTS IS CALLED
QUIETNESS
QUIETNESS IS CALLED
SUBMISSION TO FATE
WHAT HAS SUBMITTED TO FATE
BECOMES PART OF THE
ALWAYS SO.
TO KNOW THE ALWAYS SO IS TO BE
ILLUMINED.
NOT TO KNOW IT
MEANS TO GO BLINDLY TO DISASTER"
SO SAYS LAO TSEU IN THE TAO TE KING.
TO GO YOU'VE GOT TO GO THE WHOLE TRIP
ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK
BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PLACE
WHERE YOU SEE THAT BEHIND ALL THIS
THERE IS ALL THIS IN ITS
OM
IN ITS UNMANIFEST FORM
ALWAYS
ETERNALLY
YOU PERCEIVE THAT
NOTHING
IS REALLY HAPPENING AT ALL
NOTHING
EVER HAPPENS
NOTHING
IS GOING TO HAPPEN
THERE'S
NOTHING
YOU'VE GOT TO DO
THERE'S NO DOER
TO DO IT ANYWAY
