The Taoteching #23

Whispered words are natural
a gale doesn’t last all morning
a squall doesn’t last all day
who else could make these
only Heaven and Earth
if Heaven and Earth can’t make things last
what about Man
thus in whatever we do
let those on the Way be one with the Way
let those who succeed be one with success
let those who fail be one with failure
be one with success
for the Way succeeds too
be one with failure
for the Way fails too

Lao-tzu
from The Taoteching
