A Way to Remember

I'll have it here.
So I can have it in my mind, when I go wrong.

Nur gehen wieder...


Between the Opposites

Stop looking for perfection. Stop trying to improve people and everyone will benefit a hundredfold. Give up ideals. Forget morality. Prohibiting anything just makes it more interesting. Stop teaching propriety and let natural affections arise of themselves.

Actions create reactions. It is as if the universe is perverse. Find a beginning and an end will be declared. Express an opinion and someone will disagre. Do anything and suddenly, as if by magic, there is opposition.

There is a way between the opposites of things. Follow these principles: return to simplicity; moderate desires; diminish the importance of self; look to the heart of things.

The way between is a delicate balancing of doing and not doing, learning and unlearning, finding and losing, filling and emptying.
