taoism and gnostic exegetical acrobatics

is the tao god?

what do you mean by tao?
what does your definition of tao mean to me?
and after you explain it, what does it mean to the tao that ran away
from our dangerous acrobatic tricks
with no net to protect the tao from our dangerous balancing act
between practical and practically impractical

anthropomorphizing of this tremendous field in which we exist.
