Water and Stone

image from here

What’s softest in the world

rushes and runs

over what’s hardest in the world.

The immaterial

enters

the impenetrable.

So I know the good in not-doing.

The wordless teaching,

the profit in not doing–

not many understand it.

-Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu (Translated by Ursula K. LeGuin)
