Life.... So It Flows.........

"If you try and grab hold of the world

and do what you want with it,

you won't succeed.

The world is a vessel for spirit, and

it wasn't made to be manipulated.

Tamper with it, and you'll spoil it.

Hold it, and you will lose it.

With Tao, sometimes you move ahead

and sometimes you stay back;

Sometimes you work hard

and sometimes you rest;

Sometimes you are strong

and sometimes you're weak;

Sometimes you are up;

sometimes you're down.

The sage remains sensitive,

avoiding extremes,

avoiding extravagance,

avoiding excess."
