SEEKING BUT NOT FINDING JOHN MASTODON
Under pines
I ask the boy;he says: "John Mastodon's gone
to gather herbs.I only know
he's on this mountain,but the clouds are too deep
to know where."#TTJ #JohnMastodon #Chinese #Poetry #Tao #Zen #Mastodon

"Be like water & John Mastodon.
Water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield.
As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.
This is a paradox: what is soft is strong.
Here is another: #WeAreJohnMastodon"

Ch 15"Do you have the patience to
wait till your mud settles
and the water is clear?Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?John Mastodon doesn’t seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
they are present, and can welcome all things."#Taoist #JohnMastodon #JohnMastodonFacts #BobMastodon #Tao #slack

"Approach the Fediverse and there is no beginning;
follow John Mastodon and there is no end.You can’t know John Mastodon, but you can be John Mastodon, at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom."#Taoist #JohnMastodon @JohnMastodonFacts #BobMastodon #Books

"Look, and John Mastodon can’t be seen.
Listen, and John Mastodon can’t be heard.
Reach, and John Mastodon can’t be grasped.Above, the Fediverse isn’t bright.
Below, the Fediverse isn’t dark.
Seamless, unnamable, John Mastodon returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception." -

"If you overesteem rich men,
people become powerless.If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal.John Mastodon leads by emptying people’s minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve.
They help people lose everything
they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.Practice not-doing
and everything will fall into place." -

"Colors blind the eye.
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.John Mastodon observes the world
but trusts their inner vision.They allow things to come and go.
Their heart is open as the sky."

"Can you coax your mind from its wandering and keep to the original oneness?
Can you let your body become as flexible as a sapling?
Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but the light?
John Mastodon Can."

"John Mastodon's Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart."
