One who knows does not speak;
One who speaks does not know.
He
Stopples the openings of his heart,
Closes his doors,
Diffuses the light,
Mingles with the dust,
Files away his sharp points,
Unravels his tangles.
This is called "mysterious identity."
Therefore,
Neither can one attain intimacy with him,
Nor can one remain distant from him;
Neither can one profit from him,
Nor can one be harmed by him;
Neither can one achieve honor through him,
Nor can one be debased by him.
Therefore,
He is esteemed by all under heaven.

As I read this again and possibly for the first time through these eyes,
it holds new value for my entrepreneurial spirit.
This passage speaks to me of maintaining a deliberately bound private space;
ideas, advancements, and projects are to carefully illuminated,
brought to the attention of a select few.
People I trust, honor, and respect.
Those who would support me in anything I do,
And others close to my heart.
