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.
