Tao Te Ching - The Flow of Life

From Sonja Elen Kisa's elegant translation, 'Dào Dé Jīng, The Flow and the Power of Good, a Taoist scripture by Lǎozǐ.' Ms. Kisa, who is also a writer, language teacher and language inventor, has her website at http://kisa.ca/

"I - The Flow of Life

"The Flow of the universe is not one you can explain,
And its true name is not one you can speak.

"For the universe began without words,
And then we gave names to all things.
In the world of non-being, we embrace its mysteries,
And in the world of being, we interact with it.

"These two flow into one another
And are separated only by name.

"Together they form a mystery.
Enigma in enigma —
Gateway to all wonders"
