The Tao is a Silent Flower

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,

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.
