The shape of the Dao can be most beautiful and
alluring but like the shadows on a sunny day, can change dramatically. The only
form that the Dao has is formless. We should learn from these facts. We grow
old, we get sick, everything we come into contact with changes, we die. The
only stability is change. To become attached to some shape or form is to wait
for the 4:57 at the abandoned train station next to the torn up tracks where
the train runs no more.
