one more, sorry —

The Master keeps her mind

always at one with the Tao;

that is what gives her radiance.

 

The Tao is ungraspable.

How can her mind be at one with it?

Because she doesn’t cling to ideas.

 

The Tao is dark and unfathomable.

How can it make her radiant?

Because she lets it.

 

Since before time and space were,

the Tao is.

It is beyond is and is not.

How do I know this is true?

I look inside myself and see.

 

Will try to refrain from posting more — at least today….

I'm a young, childless widow who is trying to figure out the best way to deal with the world in light of my late husband's suicide. It's harder than I ever imagined it would be, but somehow at the same time I am still alive and even happy sometimes.
