Tao Te Ching: 5

Cranes.jpg

Heaven and Earth

Are without partiality

Regarding the Ten Thousand Things

As if they were straw dogs

The sage is without bias

Regarding the mass of men

As if they were straw dogs

The space between

Heaven and Earth

Is like a bellows

Empty yet inexhaustible

Each motion pouring out

More and more

Too much talking

Brings about ruin

Better to abide by

The Middle way
