“Heavy is the root of light,

Stillness is the master of movement.

Who can by stillness, little by little

make what is troubled grow clear?

Who can by movement, little by little

make what is still grow quick?

To follow the Way

is not to need fulfilment.

Unfulfilled, one may live on

needing no renewal.”

 

- Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching  (interpretation by Ursula K. Le Guin)
