the dao is always nameless
The Dao is always nameless.
And even though a sapling might be small
No one can make it be his subject
If rulers could embody this principle
The myriad things would follow on their own.
Heaven and Earth would be in perfect accord
And rain sweet dew.
People, unable to deal with It on its own terms
Make adjustments;
And so you have the beginning of division into names.
Since there are already plenty of names
You should know where to stop
Knowing where to stop, you can avoid danger.
The Dao's existence in the world
Is like valley streams running into the rivers and seas
-lao tzu (tao te ching, ch 32)
