FIFTY SIX
 
Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.

Keep your mouth closed.
Guard your senses.
Temper your sharpness.
Simplify your problems.
Mask your brightness.
Be at one with the dust of the earth.
This is primal union.

He who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and enemies,
With good and harm, with honor and disgrace.
This therefore is the highest state of man.


Tao Te Ching
Gia Fu Feng Translation

 

 
Words are nice (sometimes) and
are a largely necessary evil (in general).
Actions though, are where the
truth of things can be
fully experienced.

Like sitting on a cushion (or a chair)
Like walking in the woods
Like visiting the Sea
Like fishing that one last stubborn
sock out of the far reaches
of the clothes dryer.
