NO FIXED PLANS

"A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.

Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light."

"The weekest things in the world can overmatch the stongest things in the world.

Nothing in the world can be compared to water for its weak and yielding nature; yet in attacking the hard and the strong nothing proves better than it. For there is no alternative to it.

The weak can overcome the strong and the yielding can overcome the hard.

This all the world knows but does not practice."

Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now put water into a cup, it becomes a cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, it becomes a teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend."

Remember...

... it takes two eyes to become immortal !  ;-) 

"Whenever you advise a ruler in the way of Tao, 
Counsel him not to use force to conquer the universe.
For this would only cause resistance.
Thorn bushes spring up wherever the army has passed.
Lean years follow in the wake of a great war.
Just do what needs to be done.
Never take advantage of power.
Achieve results,
But never glory in them.
Achieve results,
But never boast.
Achieve results,
But never be proud.
Achieve results,
Because this is the natural way.
Achieve results,
But not through violence.



Force is followed by loss of strength.
This is not the way of Tao.
That which goes against the Tao comes to an early end."

Tao Te Ching ; Chapter 30 , Jane English & Gia-fu Feng
