Returning to purity

 

Abandon saintliness, relinquish prudence;

the people will benefit [increase] hundred times.

Abandon benevolence, relinquish righteousness;

the people will return to filial piety [and parental affection].

Abandon cleverness, relinquish gain;

thieves [and] robbers will not appear.

These are three things wherein to have culture is not sufficient.

Therefore let them hold that which is reliable

Recognise simplicity, embrace purity,

lessen selfishness, diminish desires.

 

Vulgarity's palliation

 

[When] the great Reason degenerates,

we have  benevolence [and] righteousness.

[When] prudence [and] wisdom appear,

we have great hypocrisy.

[When] the six family relations are not friendly,

we [the preaching of] filial piety [and] paternal affection.

[When] the state with its families is confused [and] out of order,

there are loyalty [and] faithness.

Propouding the essential

"Propounding the essential"

Know what you do not know, strive without contending, the Way may be a tough path but it does not injure.

None escapes heart-voice

Just don't wanna listen.

Imposition not unnatural

Nature's way to go
Predator and prey.

Sound, light

 

Sound, light
Intrusion, exposure
Unnatural shutdown.

Can't hide

Can't hide
Can't be gone
Eyes of Beauty
have no lids.

In darkness
seeking,
Just a glimpse,
enough,
to carry on.

Quietude,
Only me
