“Among animals I am the lion; among birds, the eagle Garuda. I am Prahlada, born among the demons, and of all that measures, I am time.I am death, which overcomes all, and the source of all beings still to be born. Just remember that I am, and that I support the entire cosmos with only a fragment of my being. Behold, Arjuna, a million divine forms, with an infinite variety of color and shape. Behold the gods of the natural world, and many more wonders never revealed before. Behold the entire cosmos turning within my body, and the other things you desire to see. I am time, the destroyer of all; I have come to consume the world.”Lord Krishna, The Bhagavad Gita

Solid — like a body — sustained — loved — by the translucent — transparent and transubstantial— 道

“Baikal Zen”: Rocks that have fallen on the ice of Lake Baikal are heated by sunlight and emit infrared rays that melt the ice below. Once the sun is gone, the ice becomes solid again, creating a small support for the rock above.

Solon*, by Plutarch

"Some wicked men are rich, some good are poor, We will not change our virtue for their store: Virtue's a thing that none can take away; But money changes owners all the day."

*  Solon (legendary, died 539 B.C.E.) Written 75 A.C.E. by Plutarch Translated by John Dryden
