The Tao of Mind

Chim is the feeling of the
Mind that has lost its way

In the ways of tao
That is part of the natural world

Seek your teacher
And ask to learn the method

Seek not enlightenment
Coz there is none

For those who seek
Only those who practice

With the passing of time
And diligent practice

Will suddenly find tao
Like a flash of lighting

Across the autumn sky
That illuminates the darkness

Then the “eye” will open and see
And “chim” will no longer exists

Note
*chim = complicated

From my delusion
I thought I saw

A road map for learning taiji
So that never will I have

To figure out what it means
Otherwise what does “learning” mean

If I have to figure out
When I dunno anything in the first place

Ah but therein lies the paradox
Of the yin yang of learning

Learn but don’t get taught
Taught but don’t practice

As the Tao says
That which can be expressed is not the Tao

But you can follow the taiji road map
And when you get there

What’s yin yang you are asked
Your answer is to smile

Here be the Tao of Mind
For those who know

What they seek
For so long

The door is now open
It may close again

Only the Dharma knows
Where destiny leads us

Come or go
Today we know not

For the moment to be
Lies in the present
