Verse 8: Effortless Nature

ByDan Rotnem March 4, 2024May 8, 2024

The highest virtues are like Water.
Water’s virtue is to benefit all things,
   not strive against them.
It rests in places people consider foul.
Thus, it is like the Dao.

Verse 3: Cherishing People

ByDan Rotnem January 29, 2024May 8, 2024
