Tao Te – 23

sparing speech honors word’s limit
high winds move on
heavy rain has its season
seeking an explanation returns only
heavens and earth     nature
if these do not bring forth forever
why do we get trapped in trying

to be within Tao
is to be at one
those who honor limits
recognize their own
those losing the way of nature
are lost

to be at one
is to be welcomed welcomed
to be within quality
welcome is always open
to be at one with loss
affirm the presence of enough

trust limits
markers of beyond
