Hold to your path
because this is truth
Stand in the waves
and be who you are
because when it has passed
there is only you
standing in truth
or swept far from shore

The lonely path
the solitary path
the path of your heart
the path of true self
the path of deep knowing

Momentary disappointments
fleeting desires
brief confusions
matter not
when you have kept to the way

I do not know what is out there
i know what is in here
in knowing what is within
i know what is without.

I am myself,
so I am tao
i know myself
so I know tao.
