A superior scholar listening to reason,

he is strenuous and practises it.

An average scholar listening to reason,

sometimes keeps, sometimes loses.

An inferior scholar listening to reason

Those enlightened by reason resemble the dark.

The straight in reason resemble the rugged.

The high in virtue resemble a valley.

The perfect is whiteness are likely to be put to shame.

The broadest in virtue resemble the not-sufficient.

The greatest square has no corner.

The greatest vessel not yet is completed.

The greatest sound is void of speech.

The greatest form has no shape.

Common ground
Yet neither this nor that
Merely sharing.

Different yet common

Let go

what's different.

When paths crossed
Beauty is recognition
