What’s not going on is the breath.
The breath not taken is stillness,
yet it gives life to the breath taken.
The breath taken is motion,
yet it depends on the stillness.
What’s not going on is the word.
The word unsaid is space,
yet it shapes the word spoken.
The word spoken is presence,
yet it depends on the space.
What’s not going on is the fire.
The fire unlit is dark,
yet it makes room for the flame.
The flame is burning,
yet it depends on the dark.
What’s not going on is the time.
The time unwound is eternity,
yet it holds the hour together.
The hour is passing,
yet it depends on eternity.
⚫️
Repeat the pattern.
The Tao spirals without end.
Absence births presence,
presence leans on absence.
What’s not going on
is always going on.
