The Tao: Older than God

The Tao… is older than God.  ~ Lao Tzu

The Tao is like a well:
used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
filled with infinite possibilities.

It is hidden but always present.
I don’t know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.

Text from Tao Te Ching: A New English Version (Perennial Classics), Mitchell, Stephen. HarperCollins.
