《道德經第四章》

Blue I, Georgia O'Keeffe

道沖而用之或不盈。

淵兮似萬物之宗。

挫其銳，解其紛，和其光，同其塵。

湛兮似或存。

吾不知誰之子，象帝之先。

Dao De jing Chapter Four - Alan B. Taplow 4 DAO IS EMPTY

    Tho' Tao is empty ― its grace is inexhaustible

    A deep and unfathomable source,

    The ancestor of all there is.

    Through the Tao: 

    - Rough edges are smoothed.

    - Hard knots are untied.

    - Glare of light is softened.

    - Busyness of life is tempered.

    Tho' hidden deeply ― it is ever-present.

    Its origin? ― A mystery to me.

    It just seems to have been forever.
