Spirit and energy should be clear as the night air
by Sun BuerEnglish version by Thomas Cleary
Original Language Chinese
Spirit and energy should be clear as the night air;
In the soundless is the ultimate pleasure all along.
Where there's reality in illusion
Is illusion in reality,
For the while playing with magical birth
In the silver bowl.
-- from Immortal Sisters: Secret Teachings of Taoist Women, Edited by Thomas Cleary |
