Chapter 16

Goo All Di Way Inna Empty

致虚极,守静笃。万物并作,吾以观复。
夫物芸芸,各复归其根。归根曰静,是谓复命。复命曰常,知常曰明。不知常,妄作凶。
知常容,容乃公,公乃王,王乃天,天乃道,道乃久,没身不殆。
Goo all di way inna empty, hold ontu di stillness wid ya whole self. All tings mek move, and me watch dem come back roun. All di tings weh eena creation, eva one mek fi dem own root. Mek dem go back ya dem root, dat mek still. Dis mek dem go back ya dem fate. Mek it go back ya dem fate mean it always de ya. Who know dis always, e cyan tek in anyting. Who cyan tek in anyting, e go be fair and square. Fair and square mek dem lead, dem lead like heaven weh mek all tings. Di Way mek all tings, and di Way neva done. From wen me born, till me dead, di Way neva lef me.
