The Way and It's Power - The Tao Te Ching

"Existence is beyond the power of words to define;

Terms may be used

But are none of them absolute.

At the beginning of creation there were no words,

Words came out of the womb of matter;

And whether (one) dispassionately

Sees to the core of life

Or passionately

Sees the surface,

The core and the surface

Are essentially the same,

Words making them seem different

Only to express appearance.

If name be needed, 

Wonder names them both:

From wonder into wonder

Existence reveals itself."

                                Lao Tzu
