1. Mind (i)
========
Life is not the breath in your lungs,
Nor mind the thoughts in your head;
Mind is the course of all thoughts,
And life, its source.

Thoughts represent forms;
Forms express thoughts;
Each generating the other
In waves on the surface of mind.

Beneath the surface,
Formless and silent,
Boundless and liquid,
Dream dreams with no dreamer.


3. Function (xi/x)
Thirty spokes meet at a hub;
About its axis we turn the wheel.
Clay is spun into a vessel;
At its lip we sip the cup.
Bricks are built around an oven;
By its hearth we warm the house.

Every form that encloses
Functions by opening.
Agility opens the self
To inspire, but not require,
And command, but not control
The evolution of form.

Dov Tsal
