serving without expectation of reward
Tao gives
life to all beings.
Nature nourishes them.
Fellow creatures shape them.
Circumstances complete them.
Everything in existence respects tao and
honors nature — not by decree,
but spontaneously.
Tao gives life to all beings.
Nature watches over them, develops them,
shelters them, nurses them, grows them, ripens
them, completes them, buries them,
and returns them.
Giving birth,
nourishing life, shaping things
without possessing them, serving without
expectation of reward, leading without dominating:
These are the profound virtues of nature,
and of nature’s best beings.

adopting the concerns of heaven
she once suggested that every internally displaced family be given a small tree to plant
The sage
knows herself, but doesn’t
dwell on herself; loves herself, but no
more than she loves everyone else. She
adopts the concerns of heaven
as her own.
from The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu,
those who know don’t talk
Those who
know don’t talk.
Those who talk
don’t know.
Close your mouth.
Block the door.
Quiet your senses.
Blunt the sharpness.
Untie the tangles.
Soften the brightness.
Be one with the dust, and
enter the primal
oneness.
One who has merged
with Tao in this way
can’t be courted,
can’t be bought,
can’t be harmed,
can’t be honored,
can’t be humiliated.
She is the treasure
of the world.
