SENSE OF PURPOSE

DELIGHT

Watch the sky:
Rejoice in its clarity
- but take heed of its portents.

Taste the water:
Embrace its freshness
- but beware of becoming stale.

Listen to the fire:
Bask in its warmth
- but avoid consuming fiercely.

Feel and smell the earth:
Grow wholesome in its richness
- but turn away from excess.


ICON

'Primal Virtue' denotes fundamental attitudes which accord with Tao. Manifestations of these with regard to the environment
  include organic farming and gardening; and a respect and reverence for the beauty and sanctity of wild landscapes and habitats
.

Actions which aim to harmonise with natural processes, rather than tending to dominate or oppress them, are seen to be sustainable;

whereas those which are opposed lead to unstable and unsustainable imbalances, such as global warming and depletion of soil fertility.
