The Tao is like water, nourishing all things.
Water flows in the low places
And always finds its way home.
The alchemist accepts what is discarded
And recycles energy to benefit all.
He lives a simple life,
Therefore his mind is clear.
Because he is not taking,
He is able to give.
He speaks with clarity,
Because he knows himself.
As a leader, he encourages people
To choose their own destiny.
When taking action,
He applies his best gifts,
And then lets go.
By not striving for more,
He is content,
And people feel safe around him.
