Preserving the void
Heaven and Earth treat all beings equally:
with great kindness.
The wise treat all beings equally:
with great kindness.
Between heaven and earth there is a great void;
just like a seamless bag,
like the hole in a bamboo flute.
This void cannot be bridged:
the more it moves, the more it grows.
Too many words lead to less understanding;
and that’s why it’s the best way to keep the emptiness.
