Carvings


Tao carves the ten thousand things
like a stream carving a block of wood.

Does the block know it's being carved?
Does the stream know it's shaping wood?

They work as one to make something new,
knowing only that the carving is what matters.

They know nothing.
That is why they are so successful.
Art happens by itself.
Rarely by design.
