Tao Teh Ching

riet [no longer around] said Dec 3, 2006, 10:42 PM:
 

The way to which mankind may hold
is not the eternal way
Eternal truths can not be told
in what men write or say.

The name that may be named by men
is not the eternal name.
That was before the world began
or human language came.

In that the namable took root
the tree of fire and force.
Which, having blossomed and born fruit
Returns than to its source.
