Being with Mama Nature always relax our body, stretch our mind, and nourish our soul. It heals our emotional wounds, the conscious and unconscious.
I was standing there, embrace the moments when mists rolling in from the sea. Watching Nature doing her splendid work, I couldn’t help but ponder about some wise words by Lao Zi:
“The Master does not try to be powerful,
thus he is truly powerful.
The ordinary man keeps searching for power,
thus he never has enough.The Master does nothing,
yet he leaves nothing undone.
The ordinary man is always doing things,
yet many more are left to be done.The kind man does something,
yet something remains undone.
The just man does something,
and leaves many things to be done.
The moral man does something,
and when no one responds
he rolls up his sleeves and uses force.When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is morality.
When morality is lost, there is ritual.
Ritual is the husk of true faith,
the beginning of chaos.Therefore the Master concerns himself
with the depths and not the surface,
with the fruit and not the flower.He has no will of his own.
He dwells in reality,
and lets all illusions go.”
– Tao De Ching translated by Stephen Mitchell, chapter 38
Power versus force.
Flow versus hustle.
Which one do you choose?
Which pattern do you fall into by default?
And which vibration you intend to transmit?
