  • The Tao, Chapter 39

    The Tao, Chapter 39 The masters of old attained unity with the Tao.Heaven attained unity and became pure.The earth attained unity and found peace.The spirits attained unity so they could minister.The valleys attained unity that they might be full.Humanity attained unity that they might flourish.Their leaders attained unity that they might set the example.This is…

  • The Tao, Chapter 32

    The Tao, Chapter 32 The Tao is nameless and unchanging.Although it appears insignificant,nothing in the world can contain it. If a ruler abides by its principles,then her people will willingly follow.Heaven would then reign on earth,like sweet rain falling on paradise.People would have no need for laws,because the law would be written on their hearts.…

  • The Tao, Chapter 25

    The Tao, Chapter 25 Before the universe was bornthere was something in the chaos of the heavens.It stands alone and empty,solitary and unchanging.It is ever present and secure.It may be regarded as the Mother of the universe.Because I do not know it’s name,I call it the Tao.If forced to give it a name,I would call…

  • The Tao, Chapter 23

    The Tao, Chapter 23 Nature uses few words:when the gale blows, it will not last long;when it rains hard, it lasts but a little while;What causes these to happen? Heaven and Earth. Why do we humans go on endlessly about littlewhen nature does much in a little time?If you open yourself to the Tao,you and…

  • What is She Thinking? Take 3

    I’m sad. I have this overwhelming grief within my bosom and it’s difficult to see past the sea of tears I hide within. There isn’t much to find uplifting about the human species, as of late. Something inside of me that isn’t me insists on being boy crazy. There doesn’t seem to be much room…

    The Tao, Chapter 6 The spirit of emptiness is immortal.It is called the Great Motherbecause it gives birth to Heaven and Earth.It is like a vapor,barely seen but always present.Use it effortlessly. — Translated by J. H. McDonald

  • The Tao, Chapter 5

    The Tao, Chapter 5 Heaven and Earth are impartial;they treat all of creation as straw dogs.The Master doesn’t take sides;she treats everyone like a straw dog.The space between Heaven and Earth is like a bellows;it is empty, yet has not lost its power.The more it is used, the more it produces;the more you talk of…

  • The Tao, Chapter 1

    The Tao, Chapter 1 The tao that can be describedis not the eternal Tao.The name that can be spokenis not the eternal Name.The nameless is the boundary of Heaven and Earth.The named is the mother of creation.Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.Yet…

  • The Mountain Dragon Man (1)

    The Mountain Dragon Man is the title I bestow on my future husband. It sounds quite intimidating, surely, for anyone who does not even call themselves a man in their head, but I assure you that any boy can grow into a mountain, a dragon, or a man. And if he’s a very diligent boy,…

  • Emergency Care

    Her soul needed CPR. After eighteen long months, she has a spiritual pulse again. I thought I lost her, y’all. She’s my baby, you know. She’s so sweet and innocent. A fucking unicorn amongst you idiots. More of you could be like her, but I bet you won’t bother or dare. It’s a shame, because…
