"Practicing Eternity" Sunrise/Afternoon February 10, 2015

In the beginning was the Tao.
All things issue from it;
all things return to it.

To find the origin,
trace back the manifestations.
When you recognize the children
and find the mother,
you will be free of sorrow.

If you close your mind in judgments
and traffic with desires,
your heart will be troubled.
If you keep your mind from judging
and aren't led by the senses,
your heart will find peace.

Seeing into darkness is clarity.
Knowing how to yield is strength.
Use your own light
and return to the source of light.
This is called practicing eternity.
Tao Te Ching-Tao Tzu
Translation by Stephen Mitchell.

The no-mind state
is not the vacancy of idiocy
but the most supremely alert intelligence,
undistracted by extraneous thought.
