Balance

“Tao Te Ching, 26th verse:

The heavy is the root of the light.

The still is the master of unrest

Realizing this,

The successful person is

Poised and centered

In the midst of all activities;

Although surrounded by opulence,

He is not swayed.

Why should the lord of the country

Flit about like a fool?

If you let yourself be blown to and fro,

You lose touch with your root.

To be restless is to lose one’s self-mastery.”
