You can't see it, because it has no form,you can't hear it because it makes no noise.
You can't touch it because it has no substance. It cannot be known in these ways.
It is the all embracing Oneness
It is not high and light, or low and dark.
Indefinable yet continually present.
It is nothing at all. It is the formless form,
the imageless image.
It can't be grasped by the imagination.
It has no beginning and no end.
This is the essence of Tao
Stay in harmony with this ancient presence,
and you will know the fullness of each present moment.
Lao Tzu. Fifth century b c Taoist sage.
The Yin-Yang motif is a dynamic symbol of life,
representing the resolution of all opposites and
the reconciliation of all paradoxes.
