21, Poetry, Photography, and Spoken Word
# <center>21</center>


The material world 
Is the mirror to the Tao






<center>![IMG_0270 1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/mGzpYnlP-IMG_0270201.jpg)</center>

<div class=pull-right>  


![IMG_9321.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/T2RU1y7N-IMG_9321.jpg)

</div>


<br>





All reflections are shallow
Lacking in substance
In comparison to what casts it
Yet the reflection does not know this
It behaves as though it is the source
Unaware and unknowingly
<br>

<div class=pull-left> 

![IMG_0274 1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/Z8X1kg9z-IMG_0274201.jpg)

</div>
<br>

There is no reflection
Without the source 
There is no mirror 
Without the builder
<br>

<div class=pull-right> 

![IMG_9320.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/91qjCHnL-IMG_9320.jpg)

</div>


<br>

The Tao is both builder and source

To the mirror … 
Immeasurable
Ungraspable
Timeless
Radiant

<br>

<div class=pull-left> 






![IMG_0269 1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/prydefoltz/gDGbXkTn-IMG_0269201.jpg)

</div>

<br>

Do not measure 
Do not grasp
Understand eternity

Shed the mask of the internal foe
Reflect radiance
