The ultimate essence of Tao is dark and mysterious. It lurks in the shadows waiting. Its very nature is to be as deep as an ocean, as un-navigable as the furthest galaxy in the sky, as unknown as the secrets of a diary a long time misplaced, truth that is lost to the pages of history. It maintains no image or form. Despite this one can know the Tao by not trying to know it, touch it without trying to touch it, experience it without effort. Rather than wishing for the impossible, it is wise to realize what is. Live in simplicity and peace.
