Love is the constant we cannot divide and so we suffer 

 

  

 

 

 

Tao te Ching: Touch ultimate emptiness…

 

Touch ultimate emptiness,

Hold steady and still

All things work together:

 

I have watched them reverting,

And have seen how they flourish

And return again, each to his roots.

 

This, I say, is the stillness:

A retreat to one’s roots;

Or better yet, return

To the will of God,

 

Which is I say, to constancy

 The knowledge of constancy

I call enlightenment and say

That not to know it is blindness that works evil.

 

But when you know

What eternally is so

You have stature

And stature means righteousness.

 

And righteousness is kingly

And kingliness divine

And divinity is the Way

Which is final.

 

Then, though you die,

You shall not perish.
