daode jing


Thomas Meyer has a new translation of the daode jing (Tao Te Ching) out.
It is stunning, both as translation & object.
the best direction is barely felt
the next best is like a friend

fear follows after that
dismiss the last as useless

a lack of trust makes
things untrustworthy

quiet and in few words
finish what was begun

so that people say
it simply happened on its own
This website is a useful resource.
