TAO TE CHING 45



vada


45


               True perfection seems imperfect,

               yet, it is perfectly itself. 
          
               True fullness seems empty,

               yet it is fully present. 



               True straightness seems crooked.

               True wisdom seems foolish.

               True art seems artless.



               The Master allows things to happen.

               She shapes events as they come.

               She steps out of the way

               and lets the Tao speak for itself. 


                               ---tr by Stephen Mitchell
