Tao Te Ching                72
 
When men lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster.

Do not intrude in their homes.
Do not harrass them at work.
If you do not interfere, they will not weary of you.

Therefore the sage knows himself but makes no show,
Has self-respect but is not arrogant.
He lets go of that and chooses this.

From the Tao Te Ching

18

When the great Tao is forgotten,
Kindness and morality arise.
When wisdom and intelligence are born,
The great pretence begins.

When there is no peace within the family,
Filial piety and devotion arise.
When the country is confused and in chaos,
Loyal ministers appear.

FLOW


From the Tao Te Ching

Return is the movement of the way;
yielding is the function of the Way.
All things in the world are born of being;
being is born of non-being

From the Tao Te Ching

Return is the movement of the way;

Beginnings


What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.”

Be like a flowing river

I am a flowing river, never dry and never bursting, but always full.
-EB

This is how we should think of ourselves, constantly flowing with energy.
We, as well as everything else are in a state of constant transition and it is beautiful.
