The Darkness

Contrivance into the obscured. Elusive when darkness allured. How can the form of the formless be seen? By watching the thousands disappear and convene. Do not struggle to glimpse the opaque. Apart from all things one may awake. I know not from whence it came. It is nameless and cannot have name. Shrouded in a mystery and hidden by a riddle. Lucid is the median which lies inside the middle. To shrink something it first must expand. With subtle perception to understand. The soft will overtake the hard. No exertion with alchemical petard. The slow will overcome the fast. Free from future and escaped from past. To become fully present there must be yield. To win in battle throw down the shield. One gives life to the two yet little do we see. Giving birth to all things lies within the three. That which has no substance enters where there is no space. Yet how can things be emptied when everything we chase? From in the darkness comes the dark. At journeys end to disembark. A master arrives without even leaving. Yet to the mind its still conceiving. Less and less is done till reaching non action. To merge with the way is spontaneous reaction. The mind views things as though repeating. This is false and quite deceiving. A sweet kiss upon your lips. Experience her essence thus taken in sips. The sage is always genuine and kind. He follows not yet leads behind. To others fetters he must ensue. The greatest gift bestowed is virtue. Archaic is the ancient Tao. It lies between the here and now. You seek to know it because of loss. Now seek the center of the cross. More words always mean less. All desires must depress. Supple and flowing in the unknown. Radiant yet easy on the eyes when shown. Firm as a mountain or as swaying as a tree. As small as a fountain pouring into the Sea. To happen timely via experiential. View all things as nothing special. Act without doing and work without the effort. In the state of nothing there is no more to assert. Think of the small as large and the few as many. Never aim for wealth or purpose and never miss any. Carry the darkness yet follow the light. Five senses not harnessed ratifies insight. Quintessence in the depths of nothing thus becoming truly free. Viewing things gray yet from both sides is to truly see.
