The
Dao is the elusive butterfly that will always escape your net. What’s that sir?
You are a successful big game hunter? You have great trophies of all your kills
above the fireplace? You have the largest butterfly net in existence? It will
not matter. Sir, let me remind you that verse 14 of the Tao Te Ching reminds us
that looked for, it cannot be seen; listened for it cannot be heard, reached
for, it cannot be grasped. The Dao is the ultimate game, the ultimate fugitive
that cannot be captured. As fast as you may run, it will run of fly faster. As
soon as you think you know what it looks like, it changes and rearranges. I can
assure you at the end of the hunt, you will come up empty.
