What Comes Before


Everything began as something else.
Sand. Water. Ocean. Planet. Sun.
Even these eyes that record it all.

What was I before flesh but grass?
What was I before grass but earth?
What was I before earth but flesh?

Tao alone has no antecedent.
Tao has no history and no future.

Even in impermanence,
we, too, are Tao.

So Much

So much happens
Nobody can keep track
Of what’s going on

So much talk
In a world
Where nobody listens.

So much money
To fake reality
On the big screen

Nice! I love the idea of Christian Taosim, because I'm so convinced Christ was of the Tao.
