Poem of the Week

Easy by Nature

True goodness

is like water.

Water’s good

for everything.

It goes right

to the loathsome places,

and so finds the way.

For a house,

the good thing is level ground.

In thinking,

depth is good.

The good of giving is magnanimity;

of speaking, honesty;

of government, order.

The good of work is skill,

and of action, timing.

No competition,

so no blame.

From Lao Tzu Te Ching. . .A book about the Way and the Power of the Way. ( New English Version by Ursula K. Le Guin)
