Now/here flows the Way.
Not in the words but around them, atop, beneath, behind, before, and after them.
When ever we write, where ever we speak, the words themselves should not be the focus of meaning.
While we can determine the actuality of common usage or specialized term or ancient root, to concentrate only these actualities misses the broader possibilities, goes astray from the Way, confuses the infinite sway of meaning with a momentary expression.
2+2=4
Of course, but to see only the fact hides the facticity: the unwritten or unspoken yet ever present flowing potential… The additive itself, the combinatory, equality, identity, etc et al…
But now surely my words begin to hide the Way.
O Thou Encompassing Way–a whisper in the line… a glimpse in the sound.
