Excerpt
All creation is made up of more than ten thousand things. We speak of creation as the Ten Thousand Things merely because it is a convenient term by which to express a large number. In point of outward shape the universe is vast. In point of influence the Positive and Negative principles are mighty. Yet Tao folds them all in its embrace.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Chuang Tzu, beyond the visible world (heaven and earth) and the invisible world (yin and yang, the two complementary forces that animate everything), there is the Principle, which contains and pervades all things; He is infinite and has no proper name. Today, at some moment of the day, look up at the sky and remember that everything you see, and you too, is contained in this boundless Principle.
