Text :

Who knows

doesn’t talk.

Who talks

doesn’t know.

Closing the openings,

shutting doors,

blunting edge,

loosing bond,

dimming light,

be one with the dust of the way.

So you come to the deep sameness.



Then you can’t be controlled by love

or by rejection.

You can’t be controlled by profit

or by loss.

You can’t be controlled by praise

or by humiliation.

Then you have honor under heaven.
