Today I talked about respecting the Children when Lo joined me for #63 and then Marianne came up and we read #14.
#14 "Hidden in Plain Sight"
Look and there is nothing to see.
Listen and there is nothing to hear.
Reach and there is nothing to grasp.
These three nothings, come together,
They combine and are one.
This is a mystery and cannot be named.
It is present within all manifestation
And is forever retuning to nothing.
So subtle it cannot be identified,
So conspicuous it is never hidden.
Consider a time before history
To show you how to yield.
You cannot know (if you're doing) it
You cannot prove (that you're doing) it,
But still you can be (doing) it.
You are using it now, but for what?
#63 "Problems are no Problem"
Be still and you will act without doing,
Be still and your work will happen regularly.
Be still and your senses will engage the subtle.
Similarly engage a stranger as the multitude.
See the majesty of mountains in a grain of sand.
The Master knows greatness cannot be grasped.
Remaining still, she allows greatness to flow through her.
With no desire to achieve it, her stillness guides her,
Making subtle movements the difficult seems easy.
She knows that all of life is not without its problems
So problems turn out to be no problem at all.
