Clamshell/Wolf Full Moon

[David Dalton]

I began a new attempt at 2230 UTC January 24, 2024, and
if you note any effects or have any questions, follow up on
the thread with the same name as this one on alt.religion.druid .
I don’t plan to post any updates until the attempt is complete,
but would if someone asked me to.

If not for an attempt
there might not be any success
nor failure to speak of.

Wu-wei may suggest
a kind or a type of a Way
of being so spontaneous, so
unconcerned with a future of a sort,
to not even call a change an event could
be how to not chop, not carve, and return to
a place before things began as nouns.

Learning, unlearning, being taught, at times
to forget can be what is forgotten and then
attempting to do, a thing, a verb occurs.

Without-action,
without intent,
simply being.

Wu-wei may be
and not be as well,
time after time for me.

The groove, the Zone, a place
beyond where without knowing how,
a what could be that is. So simple and yet,
at times a mystery. Where is the groove.

Maestros in the Zhuangzi knew.

The contents of the Zone, the groove.
Emptiness could be a key to unlock it.

To be content with nothing, Wu.
To find the void, that space that is.

The page on which these words appear.
The nothingness between each word.
Surrounding and within many letters.
Taken for granted, usually.

Dao as a word can be said.
Fei-chang could mean, uncommon.
Unusual, how strange Wu is. It is where
the Zone can be at times and still. To move
and still be still in a Way. It may be called a point.

To reach a point, to know how.
To know what to do and not to do.
When and where even if not why.

Please do tell.

Dew tells me how to condense.
To drop a line. A word is fine.
Success or failure. They are
Ways to remind me of Taoism.

- time tales. Thanks! Cheers!

Out of no where, now here water
may be heard if not herded as other
noun-things argh. Water drops. Water
evaporates. Water takes on many forms.

Without intent, water nourishes.
Water floods and its plain to sea goes.
Its plain goes without knowing sowing.

Water keeps me in stitches and its glitches
are different from electrical failures naturally.
When it leaks without meaning to, it seeks.

- levels vary. Thanks! aye. Cheers!

With and Without.
Yu and Wu.
Being and Nonbeing.

Duality pairs emerge.

>- levels vary. Thanks! aye. Cheers!

Dao are dao and yet to say they are Dao
could be said as well as how they are fei-chang.

A level of the phrase fei-chang is able.
Meaning without meaning to sew it goes.
What does it know. Minding a store does a
form of a Universe mind as much as water.

- cud be chewy. Thanks! Cheers!

Attachment and suffering
can be two sides of a coin and
not quite the same as a daoist duality.

Being attached.
Being detached.

Hanging on to.
Letting go of.

Prepositions emerge.

- thanks! aye. Cheers!

In silence, the knack masters were
able to do as they did. Language
patterns may point to a point.

Dao unspoken.
Going without saying.
The knack-masters did speak
of their points viewing their Dao.

- singular and/or plural -

There dao were unusual, fei-chang.

At the same time, being in the Zone is a
common, chang, phenomenon. Walking
without falling or breathing with ease.

At times natural, spontaneous, without
having a mind nor a thought while at
times requiring practice to perfect.

Butcher Ding took his time when
arriving at a tough spot then
suddenly an ox fell apart.

Wheelwright Bian began to speak
of being unable to pass along to
a son of his, his technique.

Some speakers talk about how Dao
is and some how Dao are all the same.
Some say if it is talked about, it isn't Dao.

Words fly.
Words land.
Words point.

- thanks! aye. Cheers!
