Description

Thomas Brill and Brian Parks chatting again.

This week we talked about chapter 4 of the Tao te Ching.



The Way is empty;

Yet when you use it, you never need fill it again.

Like an abyss! It seems to be the ancestor of the ten thousand things.



If files down sharp edges;

Unties the tangles;

Softens the glare;

And settles the dust.



Submerged! It seems perhaps to exist.

We don't know whose child it is;

It seems to have [even] preceded the Lord.



Here is a link to the audio file for chapter 4 if you are not using iTunes.
