The way that becomes a way
is not the Immortal Way
the name that becomes a name
is not the Immortal Name
the maiden of Heaven and Earth has no name
the mother of all things has a name
thus in innocence we see the beginning
in passion we see the end
two different names
for one and the same
the one we call dark
the dark beyond dark
the door to all beginnings
The word tao means "road" or "way" and, by extension, "way of doing
something."
Tu Er-Wei says "Tao originally meant 'moon.'
The I-ching stresses the bright moon, Lao-tzu stressed the dark moon.
To give something a name is to make it real. But once a name is
given, things change. Hence, reality cannot be known through names.
