Verse 1 • The Way I say is not the Way unchanging...
The Way I say is not the Way unchanging.
The name I name is not the changeless name.
Yet from the nameless came the heavens and the earth,
And from the named a million things took birth.
While desirelessness reveals its core,
Desire unfolds its boundaries more.
And though they may seem two in name,
We know in truth they are the same,
And that this mystery be the deepest door.
