Kuo Hsi (11th Century Chinese painter), Clearing Autumn Skies

‎”There is a being wonderful, perfect;
It existed before heaven and earth.
How quiet it is!
How spiritual it is!
It stands alone and it does not change;
It moves, but does not on that account suffer.
All life comes from it, yet it does not demand to be Lord.
I do not know its name, so I call it Tao, the Way,
And I rejoice in its power.”

—Adapted from K.L. Reichelt’s translation of the twenty-fifth chapter of the Tao Te Ching in his Meditation and Piety, 41
