Empty Yourself

Empty yourself and be at peace.

For all things have their beginning

in absolute emptiness.

All things change, grow

And then return to the source.

Everything completes itself

By returning to stillness.

This is the way of nature.

The way of nature is constant.

Being constant brings you insight.

Having insight

You will gain compassion.

Gaining compassion

You will act as an ancient sage.

Acting as an ancient sage

You will be at one with the Tao.

Being at one with the Tao

Is life without end.

Lao Tse
