OH MY!
So much is riding on me.
PEACE B2U
Always,
and in
All Ways...
TAO: 56
Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.
Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.
Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually
This is why it endures.

TAO: 56
Whoever knows does not speak; whoever speaks does not know.
So, stop the senses.
Close their doors.
Ignore their riddles.
Subdue their light.
Be one with the humble dust.
This is the mystic unity.
It is beyond love and hate,
beyond profit and loss,
beyond honor and dishonor.
Thus, it is the most valuable treasure
in all the world.

PEACE B2U ALL...
