Thank you for sharing this
I was gifted with one translation of the Tao Te Ching. While a translation in hindsight I found it to be one that resonated the most.
I am pretty sure this is an online version of it but will have to check.
“ The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gate to all mystery.”
