It is serene. Empty.
formless and perfect
in the silence and the void,
before the universe was born.
It is serene. Empty.
Solitary. Unchanging.
Infinite. Eternally present.
It is the mother of the universe.
Infinite. Eternally present.
It is the mother of the universe.
For lack of a better name,
I call it the Tao.
I call it the Tao.
It flows through all things,
inside and outside, and returns
to the origin of all things.
