25. Limitless

There is a mystery,
Beneath distinction, 
Silent, depthless,
Alone, unchanging,
Ubiquitous and liquid,
The mother of nature.
It has no name, but I call it "flow";
It has no limit, but I call it "limitless".

Being limitless, it expands away forever;
Expanding away forever, it returns to myself:

Flow is limitless, 
So nature is limitless,
So the world is limitless,
And so I am limitless.

For I am distinguished from the world,
The world from nature,
Nature from flow,
And flow from what courses beneath distinction.
