a million little pieces

live and let live.
do not judge.
take it as it comes.
deal with it.
everything will be okay.

tao is that which has no name and is beyond any sort of name.
names are not necessary for that which is real and for that which is eternal.
if we are free from desire, we can realize mystery, that if we are caught in desire, we only realize manifestations.

if there is beauty, there is ugliness. if there is good, there is bad. being and nonbeing.
those who live with the tao act without doing and teach without saying.
they let things come and they let things go and they live without possession and they live without expectation.
they do not need, depend, create, or define.
they do not see beauty or ugliness or good or bad.
there just is.
just be.

empty your mind and fill your core.
weaken your ambition and toughen your resolve.
lose everything you know and everything you desire and ignore those who say they know.
practice not wanting, desiring, judging, doing, fighting, knowing.
practice just being.
everything will fall into place.

to see

i wonder what it would be like to look at myself.
i don't mean through a mirror.
i mean, as if i were someone else, the way others see me.
and to be able to reach out and touch myself.
that would be interesting.
i want to do that.
