Your Primal Identity

“Close your mouth,

block off your senses,

blunt your sharpness,

untie your knots,

soften your glare,

settle your dust.

This is the primal identity.”

--Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching trans. Stephen Mitchell

“Close the mouth; shut the doors.

Smooth the sharpness; untie the tangles.

Dim the glare; calm the turmoil.

This is mystical unity.”

--Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching trans. Beck
