The Power of Silence
Natural forces rise and fall — and so must human action. The Tao teaches us to move with this rhythm, finding peace not only in success, but even in falling short. Trust flows from alignment, not force.

To stay quiet
is to follow your true nature.
A strong wind does not last all morning.
A sudden rain does not last all day.
If even Heaven and Earth
cannot sustain force,
how can people?
Those who live by the Tao
move with its rhythm.
Those who act on it
find harmony in its flow.
Even those who fail
mirror its course in their failure.
To align with the Tao
is to share in its peace —
whether through success,
through striving,
or even through falling short.
But where there is no trust,
trust cannot grow.
