Tao Te Ching

Going Beyond

We can understand the world
As it is without leaving our home.
We can understand the world
As it might be
Without peering dreamily out our window.

The further we go,
The less we know.

Wise people understand the 10,000 things
Without going to each one.
They know them
Without having to look at each one,
And they transform all
Without acting on each one.
