A S H O O K - A Timeless Lullaby

You see if you force sound into five tones
You force color into five colors
You're blind and deaf

The world of color is infinite
As is the world of sound
And it is only through stopping fixing conceptions
On the world of color and sound
That you really begin to hear it and see it

When you don't name things any longer
You start seeing them
Because say when a person says, "I see a leaf"
Immediately one thinks of a spearhead-shaped thing
Outlined in black and filled in with flat green

No leaf looks like that
No leaves-leaves are not green
That's why Lao-Tzu said
"The five colors make a man blind
The five tones make a man deaf"
