If we are outside shoveling snow, we may get cold. If we come inside to our home, we warm up. It is what we do not see that makes us warm. We cannot put a finger on the Tao, yet it is what fills up the universe. Trying to grasp the Tao only leads to frustration. It is always the horizon that you cannot touch, the star out of reach. There is no need to grasp. It is all around you and is not going anywhere.

What We Do Not See
If we are outside shoveling snow, we may get cold. If we come inside to our home, we warm up. It is what we do not see that makes us warm. We cannot put a finger on the Tao, yet it is what fills up the universe. Trying to grasp the Tao only leads to frustration. It is always the horizon that you cannot touch, the star out of reach. There is no need to grasp. It is all around you and is not going anywhere.
