"You breathe,
Frosting mountains white,
Exciting trees to verdant flame,
Dancing sparrows on your wing,
Swirling waves into long sighs,
You breathe,
And all things live."
We cannot escape the physical laws of the universe. All the ten thousand things are rooted firmly in the zip code where I live 85321 which is the Fibonacci Sequence, aka The Golden Ratio, spirals. Without the physical quality of time instead of spirals it would all be circles, beginning and ending, top to bottom. The Tao is not flat, not motionless, all is made of these cycles moving through space and time. Fire is burning, water is quenching, over there things are growing in complexity, over here simplifying. How many different parts make up this skin suit we walk in? How many times a day do we forget to breathe? Holding motionless and what is motionless but death? What is the message of motionlessness to the many interconnected unseen parts?
