"Raw Silk and Uncut Wood" Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Stop being holy, forget being prudent,
It'll be a hundred times better for everyone.
Stop being altruistic, forget being righteous,
people will remember what family feeling is.
Stop planning, forget making a profit,
there won't be any thieves and robbers.

But even these three rules
Needn't be followed, what works reliably
is to know the raw silk,
hold the uncut wood.
Need little,
want less.
Forget the rules.
Be untroubled.

Knowledge of the old kind

"Embodied theory, as feminist figurations in time and space, alters the character of knowledge through its refusal to distance thinking from moving, knowing from being, thought from material specificity of bodies. Such a perspective demands that theorizing operate on a multi-discursive register of subjectivity and recognize nonhegemonic modes of discourse as valid representations of women's agency."
