HOWS WOOD


Water seeks low places.
Tao flows that way too.


Becoming lowly,
The sage is a channel.


Becoming still,

The sage is a pool.


Becoming empty,

The sage is filled full.


A hole?

Whole!

The sage roams about scattering droplets of wisdom like dew: in words, deeds, gestures.
Tao enjoins: respect and nurture your roots; be pointed against hypocrisy and self-deceit. 
 
  Deal fairly, honestly and openly; but be alert to fraud, trickery and lies. Resist cruelty, injustice, incompetence.
 
Be kind but firm, polite but direct, easy-going but not shallow. Steer towards clarity, and away from confusion.
