Tao of Contentment

as water

nourishes all things effortlessly

and is satisfied to settle in low places

we too can be content with what we have

rejoice in the way things are

understand there is nothing lacking



enjoy simple everyday lives

realize the mystery



when there is no desire

all things are at peace


~adapted from chapters 1, 8, 37 and 44 of the Tao Te Ching
