Hidden Secrets




Over the flowing water
chasing its shadow

In seeking answers
We dart about seeking shadows
of our own nature, of our own truth.

the beauty

People prize what is hidden and rare
more than what is common.

So people hide the most important truths
despite them being “common” and always in the heart.
Seemingly to make such truth more precious and valuable!

As a result
many get lost to the way,
despite the Tao always being in sight.



cool clear water
and fireflies that vanish
that is all there is…

What secrets do you hide from yourself?
