Reticence and Connection

    One who knows does not tell.

    One who tells does not know.

    Seal the openings.

    Shut the doors.

    Soften the edges.

    Undo all knots.

    Temper the glare.

    Merge with the dust.

    This is the Mysterious Levelling.

    It cannot come closer,

    It cannot be more distant,

    It cannot be augmented,

    It cannot be attenuated,

    It cannot be exalted,

    It cannot be debased.

    This is the Supreme State.

    Te Ching LVI Lao Tsu
