No title

 "Can you form your soul so that it embraces the One,

without scattering?

Can you unify your strength

and achieve the softness

that you become like a little child?

Can you purify your secret vision so that it is free of stains?

Can you love people and govern the state,

so that you remain without knowledge?

Can you, when the pillars of heaven

open and close,

be like a hen?

Can you, with your inner clarity and purity,

penetrate everything without needing to act?

To produce and nourish,

to produce and not possess,

to work and not retain,

to increase and not dominate:

that is secret LIFE."


Dao de ching 10; Google translation from German, Wilhelm 10
