Non-Ado

The softest of all things
Override the hardest of all things.
Only Nothing can enter into no-space.
Hence I know the advantage of Non-Ado.
Few things under heaven are as instructive as the lessons of Silence,
Or as beneficial as the fruits of Non-Ado.

Tao Teh Ching

What Have You

This we have now
is not imagination.
This is not
grief or joy.
Not a judging state,
or an elation,
or sadness.
Those come
and go.
This is the presence
that doesn’t.

Jalaluddin Rumi
