Straws


I throw a straw
into the river.

Water flows into it.
Water flows out of it.

Does the water stop being water
just because it flows through the straw?

We come into life.
We go out of life.

Does Tao stop being Tao
just because it flows through us?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Tao wouldn't be Tao if it stopped flowing through everything, it wants to flow through us and in fact made us as vessels for it to flow through, no?
