Those who know don’t talk,

and those who talk don’t know.

Block the senses

and close the mind,

blunt edges,

loosen tangles,

soften glare,

mingle dust:

this is called dark-enigma union.

It can’t be embraced

and can’t be ignored,

can’t be enhanced

and can’t be harmed,

can’t be treasured

and can’t be despised,

for it’s the treasure of all beneath heaven.
