Wu Wei

[tectak]

More of a description to understand the Taoist concept of Wu Wei than a real poem, however it is meant to be a poem in similar form to a particular style of verse in the Tao Te Ching.

The Eyes see without seeing.
The Ears hear without hearing.
The Tongue tastes without tasting, the Nose smells without smelling. Just as the Skin feels without feeling.

Wu Wei

The Heart beats without beating as the Lungs breath without breathing. Just as Life lives without living.

Water flows without flowing and Grass grows without growing. Just as Stars shine without shining.

Wu Wei

Do without doing and Act without acting.
Simply. Be without being.
