"Tao" is the name of the nameless,
of the perfectly simple.
The emptiness at the heart of real power
renders it impossible or pointless to resist.
Reside in this central stillness
and all things begin to shape themselves
and come to exist with ease in your experience.
The sky unites with the earth in a gentle rain.
People find unity without constraint.
Names dissolve and namelessness with them,
until each thing is precisely itself;
each thing stands as itself in your awareness,
names itself, depicts itself, contains itself.
The river contains the sky.
The sea contains the river.
The sky contains the sea.
