What is soft is strong

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong. ~ Lao-Tzu

See the Simplicity

The world is perfect as it is. Throw away good and evil. Accept everything and love without thinking. You already know everything you need to know. Throw away cleverness and profit Release pretentiousness. You are not what you do, what you know, what you own.

The Minute Being

It cannot be seen. It makes no sound. Try to grasp it; it cannot be held. It comes from nothing Returns to nothing Formless, nameless, indefinable. Look at it; there is no beginning. Follow it; it’s never ending.

What is Not

Music without the space between the notes would simply be noise. Value comes from what is there; Usefulness from what is not.
