Speaking the Tao

The Tao that can be
spoken is not the true Tao.
So why speak at all?
These countless words are
like a high, thick, gateless wall:
infinite climbing.
If it’s just sitting
that does the whole trick of it,
who needs our talking?
Understand the question,
and do you need the answer?
Who is there to know?
