Only 2 Hands – A guided meditation as a poem

I only have two hands.
The world is beyond my control.
The world has always been beyond my control.
The world will always be beyond my control.
The world does not depend on me.
Is okay and natural that the world is beyond my control.
There was a time when I was not in the world, there
will be a time again when I am not in the world.
The world does not depend on Me,
and that is a wonderful thing.
I only have two hands,

I only have two hands,
but I have two hands.
This is the most amazing gift.
I am alive and I am aware
with these hands, I can make the world kinder, healthier and livelier.
With these hands, I can make the world harsher, angry, violent,
but the world goes on with or without me.

I only have one voice,
but I have a voice,
and that is the most Amazing thing.
I am awake and I am alert.
With this voice,
I can make the world wise fascinating and beautiful.
With this voice, I can make the world confusing or true,
false or clear,
a travesty or an equity.
But the world goes on With or without me.

I only have one lifetime in this form,
this form with two feet,
this form with two hands,
this form with one voice,
this form with this mind,
the moss goes on without me.
The ants go on without me.
The trees go on without me.
The sun burns on without me.

I cannot direct the affairs of the world.
I cannot direct the turning of the earth.
I cannot direct the tides of the oceans.
I cannot scrap and recreate my life circumstance,
but I can steer my life’s flow.
The affairs of the world are beyond my control, and always will be.
But I can mold the process of my living experience
When I am aware of how I shape my living experience, I create better results.

I cannot direct the affairs of the world,
just as I cannot direct the weaving of every spider’s web,
but participating with others in co creation.
I can still cultivate change in the natural world.
I can still cultivate change in the human world.
I have the realization that the natural world is real and fundamental.
I have the realization that the human world cannot be separated from the natural world.
I have the realization that the human world is an organic flowering of the natural world.

I have the realization also that the natural world goes on without the human world,
just as the human world goes on without me.
The world is not conditioned on people,
just as it is not conditioned on my existence.
I am alive, awake, aware and alert.
I have the realization that this life is a precious gift.
I resolve and aspire to appreciate this gift and spend it wisely.

The final bell is In 60 seconds.
Thank you for listening to only two hands, a meditation by Cooper Dozier.

[ Intro I removed so it reads like a poem:

Only two hands. By Cooper Dozier. A bell will ring before each speaking part. This meditation is 23 minutes long. The silences in between speaking parts are about 90 to 100 seconds long. There is no requirement to follow the meditation as presented. Feel free to take any path that appears to you. I hope we all have a fruitful exploration. Settle in. The first bell will ring in 30 seconds. Loosen up and stretch your joints if you like. Try to take a comfortable posture which you can hold. Should you encounter mental or emotional difficulties? Feel free to open your eyes. Take a break or stop if needed. ]

I’ve started using Taoist incense rituals to reset the energy in my space.
Walking through the house clockwise with sandalwood or agarwood incense feels surprisingly calming, especially after stressful days. The scent helps clear my mind, but the ritual itself brings a deeper sense of focus and balance. It’s less about fragrance and more about creating intentional space and peaceful energy.

My dad just published a book!

📕 Zhuangzi Notes and Reflections (2026) https://works.hcommons.org/records/89045-bcp64

“What I have written here is an English-language commentary on the classic Chinese Daoist text, the Zhuangzi. The book is named after the late fourth-century BCE philosopher Zhuang Zhou. I have posted it on an open access platform called Knowledge Commons. The link is to a free download”

"Humans have a handicap in this regard. We call it self-awareness—the ability to know who we are, to remember the past, and imagine the future.

Many constantly plan for a future that never arrives, based on memories of the past.

Many don’t experience the present moment as the only reality, unaware that the past and the future do not exist.

In reality, the present is the constantly moving interface between what was and what is yet to be."

An obsession with success is also an obsession with failure.
— #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Verse 13 (paraphrase) #Tao #Taoism #Taoist #Laozi #Daodejing #Dao #Daoism #Daoist

"Rather than pour into a cup that overflowed, It is better to stop it." - #Laozi #Daodejing ch 9 #Dao #Daoist #Daoism #Laotzu #Taoteching #Taoism #Tao #Taoist

Victory comes from lying perfectly still and waiting for power to come your way.
— #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Verse 61 tr Ron Hogan #Laozi #Daodejing #Dao #Daoism #Daoist #Tao #Taoism #Taoist

Knowing when you have enough avoids dishonor, and knowing when to stop will keep you from danger.
— #LaoTzu, #TaoTeChing, Vs 44 tr J. H. McDonald #Laozi #Daodejing #Tao #Taoism #Taoist #Dao #Daoism #Daoist

When you try too hard, you defeat your own purpose. Cling to stuff, and you will suffer loss. The Masters make no effort, so they never fail. They aren't attached to things, so they never feel loss.
— #LaoTzu #TaoTeChing Vs 64 tr. Ron Hogan #Laozi #Daodejing #Tao #Taoism #Taoist #Dao #Daoism #Daoist

The greater the attachment, the more acute the suffering. The greater the hoard, the more damaging the loss.

Be content with what you have. Rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
— #LaoTzu #TaoTeChing, Verse 44 tr Mitchell #Laozi #Daodejing #Tao #Taoist #Taoism #Dao #Daoist #Daoism.

Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.
— Gia-Fu Feng, #TaoTeChing, Verse 13 #Daodejing #LaoTzu #Laozi #Tao #Dao #Taoist #Daoist #Taoism #Daoism

Accept being unimportant.

The Master gives himself up to whatever the moment brings.

Great straightness seems twisted. Great intelligence seems stupid. Great eloquence seems awkward.

There is no greater illusion than fear.

#tao #dao #taoism #daoism #taoist #daoist #daodejing #laotzu #laozi

Be like the #Tao. It can't be approached or withdrawn from, benefited or harmed, honored or brought into disgrace. It gives itself up continually. That is why it endures.
— Stephen Mitchell, #TaoTeChing, Verse 56

#dao #taoism #daoism #taoist #daoist #daodejing #laotzu #laozi

The master allows all things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself.
— Stephen Mitchell, #TaoTeChing, Verse 45

#dao #tao #daoist #taoist #daoism #taoism #daodejing #LaoTzu #laozi

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

— Stephen Mitchell, Tao Te Ching, Verse 9

The author Michael Wittschier interpreted the so-called "Kölsches Grundgesetz" (lit. "Cologne Basic Law"; https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Rheinische_Grundgesetz) in a #Daoist way, resulting is in this small, entertaining booklet 😅📕 Discovered at the #Museum for #EastAsian Art in #Cologne.
