Our Meat

1. The Tao Of Our Meat

The Meat that can be known
is not the true Meat.

The best Meat does not attack.
The superior Meat succeeds without violence.
The greatest Meat wins without struggle.
The most successful Meat leads without dictating.
This is intelligent non aggressiveness.
This is called the mastery of The Meat.

We turn Our Meat to make a vessel,
but it is on the space
where there is nothing
that the usefulness of the Meat Vessel depends.

Our Meat is fluid, soft, and yielding.  But Our Meat
will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield.
As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding
will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.
This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
The Soft Meat is the Strong Meat. 

Our Meat is difficult to govern
because it has too much knowledge. 

Wonder into wonder;
existence opens…

2. The Art Of Our Meat At War

All warfare is based in Our Deceptive Meat.

To know your Enemy,
you must become your Enemy’s Meat.

All men can see these tactics
whereby I conquer The Meat,
but what none can see is the strategy
out of which victory over Meat is evolved.

There is no instance of a nation’s Meat
benefitting from prolonged warfare.

If you know your enemy’s Meat
and you know your own, 
you need not fear the results
of a hundred battles.

If you know your own Meat
but not the enemy’s,
for every victory gained
you will also suffer a defeat.

If you know
neither the enemy’s Meat
nor your own,
you will succumb in every battle.

Wonder into wonder;
existence opens…

3. In Our Own Words, Our Meat

Wonder into wonder,
existence opens…

The Meat rises from the bed,
throwing off the covers.

The Meat moves the day
as it moves Itself.  
Whatever distance we move,
this is the distance moved
by Our Meat.

What does it profit us
to gain our souls
but then lose, forget, and evaporate
from within
Our Meat?

Explorer, adventurer,
nose for past and eye for future,
and yet, the present tense of Our Meat
is too often kept from us,
as if it were spoiled and poisonous,
and we are its jailors.

Where the Meat
is honored,
there we most easily find ourselves,
raw and ready; and

wonder into wonder,
there is where existence opens…
