Tao loves and nourishes all things, but does not dominate it over them.
Stay at the center and let all things take their course.
Nature is not human hearted.
Who can wait in stillness while the mud settles?
A violent wind does not outlast the morning; a squall of rain does not outlast the day. Such is the course of Nature. And if Nature herself cannot sustain her efforts long, how much less can man!
Words spoken about the Way have no taste. When looked at, there's not enough to see. When listened to, there's not enough to hear. When used, it is never exhausted.
