Self Assassin
The Tao is empty but inexhaustible, bottomless, the ancestor of it all. Within it the sharp edges become smooth;the twisted knots loosen;the sun is softened by a cloud ;the dust settles into place.It is always hidden but always present. I do not know who gave birth to it. It seems to be the common ancestor of all, the father of all things. (4th verse Tao Te Ching)
