The Taoist Way

BeingPresentFailure is an opportunity.
If you blame someone else,
there is no end to the blame.

Therefore the Master
fulfills her own obligations
and corrects her own mistakes.
She does what she needs to do
and demands nothing of others.

Tao Te Ching verse 79
Translated by Stephen Mitchell

The Flow of Things

Felix von der Weppen

“Let the mind be like the lake

that reflects all of the clouds

passing over it

without any sticking to it”.

~Tao Te Ching
