25. Beneath Abstraction

  there is a mystery,

  beneath abstraction,

  silent, depthless,

  alone, unchanging,

  ubiquitous and liquid,

  the mother of nature.

  it has no name, but i call it "the way";

  it has no limit, but i call it "limitless".

  

  being limitless, it flows away forever;

  flowing away forever, it returns to my self:

  the way is limitless,

  so nature is limitless,

  so the world is limitless,

  and so i am limitless.

  for i am abstracted from the world,

  the world from nature,

  nature from the way,

  and the way from what is beneath abstraction.
