Program Notes

image without an image, subtle beyond all conception. (from Tao Te Ching)

Above, it isn't bright. Below, it isn't dark. Seamless, unnamable, it returns to the realm of nothing. Form that includes all forms, image without an image, subtle, beyond all conception.from Chapter 14 in the Tao Te Ching by Lao-Tzu, translation by S. Mitchell
