Lifeline

The Tao; the lifeline

The Tao; the master of all

The Tao; resides in all of us, yet is nowhere to be found

By being nothing, The Tao is all.

By knowing nothing, The Tao knows all.

By feeling nothing, The Tao is sentient

By doing nothing, The Tao does everything.

The Tao is our guide,

Our goal,

Our hope.

Through paradoxical teachings, The Tao conveys

No word The Tao teaches is empty.

In our hearts, we house The Tao

In all of us, The Tao resides, yet;

We cannot achieve the likelihood to The Tao we desire.
