Beyond the Rainbow

Fill a cup to its brim and it is easily spilled;

Temper a sword to its hardest and it is easily broken;

Amass the greatest treasure and it is easily stolen;

Claim credit and honour and you easily fall;

Retire once your purpose is achieved – this is natural.

Better to stop in time

than to fill to the brim.

Hone a blade to the sharpest point,

and it will soon be blunt.

Fill your house with gold and jade,

and no one can protect it.

Be prideful about wealth and position,

and you bring disasters upon yourself.

Retire when the work is done.

This is the way of heaven.

Beyond the Rainbow

empty yourself of everything .

let the mind rest in peace. 

the ten thousand things rise and fall while soul watches their return .

returning to source is stillness, which is the way of nature

Lao Tzu
(570-490 BC)
