Tao-33 — Chapter 25
✦
1
There was something formless and perfect
2
before the universe was born.
3
It is serene. Empty.
4
Solitary. Unchanging.
5
Infinite. Eternally present.
6
It is the mother of the universe.
7
For lack of a better name,
8
I call it the Tao.
9
It flows through all things,
10
inside and outside, and returns
11
to the origin of all things.
