The
Dao is a fire that is an eternal flame. It cannot be extinguished and it will
burn on into infinity. No amount of water from the storms above, or wind
whipping from the highest mountain passes can put it out. It reigns supreme
over all. If you look deeply into it, you can look into the flames and see
everything in the universe. The Dao creates all and yes, eventually destroys
all. A fire can be similar. It can warm one on a cold autumn night or burn down
an entire city. Ask a Chicagoan. It is everywhere and it stretches into the
deepest of galaxies and beyond.
