6 The Tao is called the Great Mother:
empty yet inexhaustible,
it gives birth to infinite worlds.
It is always present within you.
You can use it any way you want.

"You can use it any way you want."
ReplyDeleteTwo cats and one me
look out the same glass door
There is no agenda for this day
it is done in order and on time
We are creatures of the Tao
these cats and I
We do not name god
we sit with god
In empty silence
our hearts are full
We communicate
without saying a word
Allow space in-between
we remain close
Sit in one chair
we remain unique
We have everything
without wanting anything
When hungry
we eat
When active we chase demons or gods
no matter demon or god
It is the journey we value
the chase with no destination
We are there
when we arrive
We wash
and are clean
We do not desire beauty
we are beautiful
At sunset we continue as at sunrise
one leap from floor to table
In the dark of night we sleep
or not.
When tired
we close our eyes.
