10.
Can you rest
in the seam of opposites?
See Spirit and Instinct
as One?
Give birth
without claiming,
raise
without ruling?
This deepest power.
11.
Shape clay into a cup—
from emptiness forms function.
As it is in a dwelling.
In being arises increase,
but in non-being rests value.
12.
Overkill deadens the senses;
wild pursuits enrage the mind;
treasure loses the way.
So a sage
observes insight
and overlooks eyesight.
