Bearing without possessing, Nurturing without taming, Shaping without forcing, This is harmony. Harmony is only in following THE WAY.
THE WAY is without form or quality, But expresses all forms and qualities; THE WAY is hidden and implicate, But expresses all of nature; THE WAY is unchanging, But expresses all motion.
Beneath sensation and memory THE WAY is the source of all the world. How can I understand the source of the world? By accepting."
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
Written around the sixth century B.C.
