"The human spirit goes forth in all directions, flowing on without limit, reaching to heaven above, and wreathing round the earth beneath. It transforms and nourishes all things, and cannot be represented by any form.

#CHUANGTZU ON CLINGING TO OUR INSTABILITY AND FRAGILITY
"When we are asleep, we are in touch with our souls. When we are awake, our senses open. We get involved with our activities and our minds are distracted. Sometimes we are hesitant, sometimes underhanded, and sometimes secretive.

The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror; it grasps nothing, it refuses nothing, it receives, but does not keep. —Chuang Tzu

Fools think they are awake now, and flatter themselves they know if they are really princes or peasants. #Confucius and you are both dreams; and I who say you are dreams,—I am but a dream myself."

#CHUANGTZU ON THE GREAT AWAKENING
"Those who dream of the banquet, wake to lamentation and sorrow. Those who dream of lamentation and sorrow wake to join the hunt. While they dream, they do not know that they dream.

“To have a human form is a joyful thing.” — Chuang Tzu
A small reminder that life is the gift.
The form is the miracle.
The chance to awaken—right here, in this body—is sacred.

All things that have consciousness depend upon breath.
But if they do not get their fill of breath, it is not the fault of Heaven.
Heaven opens up the passages and supplies them day and night without stop.
But man on the contrary blocks up the holes.

As regards the quietude of the sage, he is not quiet because
quietness is said to be good. He is quiet because the multitude
of things cannot disturb his quietude.
