under heaven
all can see beauty as beauty, only because there is ugliness
all can know good as good, only because there is evil
being and non being produce each other
the difficult is born in the easy, long is defined by short,
the high by the low, before and after go along with each other
so
the sage lives openly with apparent duality and paradoxical unity
the sage can act without effort and teach without words
nuturing things without possessing them
he works, but not for rewards, he competes but not for results
when the work is done it is forgotten, that is why it lasts for ever.

I watch, feel, see and sense this dynamic as when I laugh long and deep enough I can end up crying, or when I cry long and deep enough I can end up laughing with SELF and at and with my self, lightened and lighted up, with the know-ing I am and that nothing matters much and that everything comes from no-thing and nothing matter (lots) nothing is the source.
I am, I know Self-IS-h
With, within centred, watching in stillness, silently, at the hub of the wheel of life, not strapped on the rim as it relentlessly cycles, and crushes together the terra firma earth and my physical being initiating the inevitable trials and tests, which can be observed and watched im-passive-ly and once I am, a-ware and a-ware - under heaven
