I’ve been contemplating the poem ‘The Tao is a Silent Flower’ in meditation recently – space, time, form and emptiness:
The Tao is a silent flower which blooms through the night,
Raymond Smullyan
But the night through which it blooms is the flower itself.
No Tao, no flower, no bloomer, no night.
And for this reason, it blooms.
The Tao is Silent
I believe the poem above was written by Raymond Smullyan and appears in the first edition of 'The Tao is Silent'
