Stop wanting stuff

If you can talk about it,
it ain't Tao.
If it has a name,
it's just another thing.

Tao doesn't have a name.
Names are for ordinary things.

Stop wanting stuff;
it keeps you from seeing what's real.
When you want stuff,
all you see are things.

Those two sentences
mean the same thing.
Figure them out,
and you've got it made.

-- Ron Hogan's modern interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.

unfortunately i don't have it made, cuz i don't have no tao.
