"Whatever happens or doesn't happen,
can you center yourself in the Tao?
Can you stop looking to others
and focus on your innermost self?
Can you return to the beginning of the wolrd
and be it like a newborn baby?
It can scream its head off all day,
yet it never becomes hoarse.
It can clench its fists for hours,
yet its fingers never get cramped.
It can stare all day withhout blinking,
yet its eyes never grow tired.
Free from concerns and worries,
unaware of itself,
it moves without thinking,
doesnt know why things happen,
doesn't need to know.
To act without needing a reason,
to sit still without knowing how,
to ride the current of what its--
this is the primal virtue.
The Second Book of the Tao.
