Thursday December 13, 2007

Again and again the Masters, with a playful wink, insist that the essence of Taoism - the mystical experience itself - cannot be grasped by the conceptual mind, leaving spoken/written language (with the possible exception of poetry) clearly inadequate to the task.

stillness within movement
loving mountains
hide-and-seek
union
the Universe: inside-out, outside-in


Have a beautiful day!
