Twenty Five
Something mysteriously formed,
Born before Heaven and earth.
In the silence and the void,
Standing alone unchanging.
Ever present and in motion,
Perhaps the mother of ten thousand things,
I do not know it's name.
Call it Tao.
For lack of a better word,I call it great.
Being great it flows.
It flows far away.
Having gone far,it returns.
Therefore,"Tao is great;
Heaven is great;
The king is also great."
These are the four great powers
of the universe,
And the king is one of them.
Man follows the earth.
Earth follows the Heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
Tao follows what is natural.
