Happy Mother's Day! from Lao Tzu






 The spirit that never dies is called The Mysterious Feminine.

Although she becomes the whole universe, her immaculate purity is never lost.

Although she assumes countless forms, her true identity remains intact.


The gateway to the Mysterious Feminine is called the Root of Creation.

Listen to her voice; hear it echo through creation.


~~~~


... in the opening and shutting of Heaven's Gate, can you play the feminine part?

Can you love your people and govern your domain without self-importance?

Giving birth and nourishing; having, yet not possessing; working, yet not taking credit.

Leading without controling or dominating.


~~~~


Know the strength of a man but keep a woman's care.

 

~~~~


All under heaven have a common beginning; this beginning is the Mother of the World. 

Having known the Mother, we may proceed to know her children.

Having known the children, we should go back and hold onto the mother.

The Highest Goodness

 

上善若水


The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to.

Tao te Ching 


... the sun rises on the evil and the good; rain falls on the just and the unjust.

 Matthew 5:45

 

Hail to you, divine, unfathomable, all purifying Waters!

Rg Veda
