That One-Sided Thing They Call The Tao
Like a Klein bottle or a Mobius strip
The Tao has only one side.
Curved surfaces interfacing
Leave only one path to ride.
Beyond duality, transcending yin & yang,
Beyond gender, beyond race,
Ageless, invisible, silent, touchless,
A mask without a face.
There is no dark side to this surface
It is darkness and light combined.
It is the sound of one hand clapping,
It is the essence of the mind.
Hailed by priest and scholars alike,
Often referred to as God,
It is clothed and animated in puppetry,
Given life through a divining rod.
It cannot be misused for there is
But one door, one lock, one key.
The door is the heart,
Love is the lock, and
The key is sincerity.

I am a writer and poet living in Northern California. I am actively seeking a way to bring environmental sanity to the world through spiritual activation and environmental science.
My interests include the I Ching, Tai Chi, Yoga, backpacking, photography, astrology, alternative medicine, progressive politics, and integrative spiritual and religious thought.
I have worked in the fields of solar energy, electric cars, advanced electric motors, and other environmental technologies. I look forward to becoming a spiritual teacher.
