Thirty-Three

"Just as the world can reveal itself as particles, the Tao
can reveal itself a human beings.
Though the world and particles aren't the same, neither
are they different.
Though the cosmic body and your body aren't the
same, neither are they different.

Worlds and particles, bodies and beings, time and
space:
All are transient expressions of the Tao.
Unseeable, ungraspable, the Tao is beyond any
attempt to analyze or categorize it.
At the same time, its truth is everywhere you turn.
If you can let go of it with your mind and surround it
with your heart, it will live inside you forever."

With all this talk about particles, it's hard for me to take anything seriously just now. Between this and the language of the verse I chose for today (I of course don't have to use the Catholic translations, but I prefer to in general) this post must be a disappointment. Fortunately, it, like most everything else, is transient. Onward to better things!
