Heaven And Earth Everlasting

Heaven and Earth are everlasting Heaven and Earth do not pursue a purpose or a path; silently and steadfastly accepting their positions in the universe. Obeying day and night; season after season without anguish.  The wise do not cling to anything. The more you focus on goals; pursuits; and expectations, the more you will become besiege with fear, self-doubt and insecurity. Poisoning your body and soul and the more complex every situation becomes.  If you let go; detach; and focus on your psyche. You can step back for an instant and avoid spending energy in futility  Instead you will accomplish and gain more by using the tide to take you where you belong.  So that by giving up you gain and become first  and by holding on you squander and become last. Chapter 7 of the Tao Te ChingHeaven and Earth are everlasting

Heaven and Earth do not pursue

a purpose or a path;

silently and steadfastly accepting

their positions in the universe.

Obeying day and night; season after season without anguish.

The wise do not cling to anything.

The more you focus on goals; pursuits; and expectations,

the more you will become besiege with fear, self-doubt and insecurity.

Poisoning your body and soul and the more complex every situation becomes.

If you let go; detach; and focus on your psyche.

You can step back for an instant

and avoid spending energy in futility

Instead you will accomplish and gain more

by using the tide to take you where you belong.

So that by giving up you gain and become first

and by holding on you squander and become last.
