Always Changing Everything

Go to the limit of emptiness.
Stay your heart with quiet.

Even as the world moves around you
Watch it return to rest.
All things that flourish, still die.

Death brings unity with 7.
Life is created from 7.
But everything remains everything:
Nothing created, nothing destroyed.

Be willing to change your mind,
As the pattern is always changing everything,
Be principled and pragmatic, but not dogmatic.
Be impartial and fair, but not distant.

To follow the way of the pattern:
Acknowledge destruction yet endure.
