the eternal tao
the peace
the contentment
the absence of
mind
all at the same
time
opposite
the perfect grace
the perfect movement
the perfect thought
doing
being
all of this
none of it
it's great
it's foolish
it is these things
it is nothing
it cannot be
described
it is
everything
because it is
nothing
even this poem
can't do it justice
and this statement
is an understatement
it can only be
known
by being
felt.

far out...
I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. I like how the speaker sounds like they are finding this out for the first time from the way the lines break. "it cannot be/described/it is/everything/because it is/nothing" I've had the feeling, but I didn't know how to begin to describe it. "the perfect movement/the perfect grace" helped it be described.

lol. some people i've explained it to have gotten it and known the feeling before, but most people just look at me as if i'm crazy. good to find someone else. i just wish it could be researched more in depth, but how do you research the unknown??

Tiers of feelings and thoughts.
This poem is like peeling a mandarin.
It looks small,
but it takes time to peel
the skin,
the pith,
and do you wish to extract
the seeds
or eat them with
the succulent juices!
