The Tao of Mind

An empty cup is more
Useful than a full cup

Cause with an empty cup
It can contain anything

That it is filled with
Be it water, coffee or tea

Yet how often
We forget this lesson

When it comes to
Learning taiji

For a mind that is filled
With all types of forms

Is like a cup filled with
Tea, coffee and water

And whatever else
Guess how the taste will be

For in the realm
Of the mind

We call this overfilled mind
A scattered mind

Know it all but
Understand little

Its better to have a unified mind
Or better still a one mind

For only then can
We focus on getting it

Really right instead
Of being a little right
