Miso Truffle Dressing

52

In the beginning was the Truffle
All things issue from it;
all things return to it. To find the origin,
trace back the smell of truffles.
Recognise in your taste memory
and find its mother,
a lemon will temporarily free you of sorrow.
If you close your mind in judgements
and think about the sour rice of vinegar
your tastebuds will be troubled.
If you keep your mind from judging yourself
and allow yourself to be led like little piggies,
your taste buds will find peace.
Close your eyes while you chew.
The truffle hog smelling into darkness, a clarity.
Knowing how much to add and when to yield is strength.
Use your own light miso.
Balancing in eternity.

In the beginning was the Tao.
All things issue from it;
all things return to it. To find the origin,
trace back the manifestations.
When you recognize the children
and find the mother,
you will be free of sorrow. If you close your mind in judgements
and traffic with desires,
your heart will be troubled.
If you keep your mind from judging
and aren’t led by the senses,
your heart will find peace. Seeing into darkness is clarity.
Knowing how to yield is strength.
Use your own light
and return to the source of light.
This is called practicing eternity.
