action and stillness


Let your actions be like clouds going by; the clouds going by are mindless. Let your stillness be as the valley spirit; the valley spirit is undying. When action accompanies stillness and stillness combines with action, then the duality of action and stillness no longer arises.

mystic musings...
















Tao
is something beyond material existences.
It cannot be conveyed either by words or by silence. In that state which is neither speech nor silence, its transcendental nature may be apprehended."

The search:

Investigation must not be limited, nor must it be unlimited. In this undefinedness there is an actuality. Time does not change it. It cannot suffer diminution. May we not, then, call it our great Guide?

(Musings of a Chinese Mystic, by Lionel Giles)

Don't Give Up, You Are Loved



.....Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved
