Heaven is long, Earth enduring.
Long and enduring
Because they do not exist for themselves.
Therefore the Sage
Steps back, but is always in front,
Stays outside, but is always within.
No self-interest?
Self is fulfilled. (7)
Tao Te Ching, Lao-Tzu
Trans. Stephen Addiss and Stanley Lombardo
I took the picture at the Botanical Gardens.
Recently the Tao reminded me to follow my own nature.
