The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities.
The Tao is called
the Great Mother:
empty yet
inexhaustible, it
gives birth to
infinite worlds.
