Praising the profound

 


[When] looking at it not it is seen.
It is called colorless.
[When] listening to it not it is heard.
It is called soundless.
[When] grasping it not it is seized.
It is called incorporeal.

These three things not can be subjected to scrutiny.
Therefore they are mingled together and form a unity.

Its surface is not clear; 
its bottom is not obscure.

Continuously [and] continuously 
Oh! not it can be named.
It reverts [and] returns to non-existence.
This is called of non-form the form,
of non-image, the image.

This is called abstrusely abstruse.
In the front of it not is seen its head.
In the rear of it not is seen its back.

By holding fast to the ancients of,
the Reason,
thereby [the sage] governs the present day of existence,
thus knows of the olden time the beginning.
This is called Reason's thread.

Sense



Let your ears hear whatever they want to hear;
 let your eyes see whatever they want to see;
 let your mind think whatever it wants to think;
 let your lungs breathe in their own rhythm. 


Do not expect any special result,
 for in this wordless and idea-less state, 
where can there be past or future, 
and where any notion of purpose? 


Stop, look, and listen

Looking down but reaching out




Again and again, the world opens up



Again and again, the world balances out




And I spin, on equilibrium,
pulling in, holding out, reaching out
singly and in harmony,
again and again.
