Dao De Jing: Chapter 6


The Dao De Jing is one of the world's great classics. If you click on the title of this post, you'll be directed to an online version of the text. The picture is from www.haikuvenue.com

The spirit of emptiness is immortal.
It is called the Great Mother
because it gives birth to Heaven and Earth.
It is like a vapor,
barely seen but always present.
Use it effortlessly.

  1. Funny, but I never noticed you used this picture! I took it in western Hanover County, Virginia and it's one of my favorites!

    You used it well, thanks!
