CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX

when they are first born
men are still soft and supple
in death...hard and stiff

when plants are blooming
they are tender and pliant
dead...brittle and dry

whoever is stiff
those who are inflexible...
disciples of death

whoever is soft
those who have learned how to yield...
disciples of life

the hard and the stiff,
the brittle and dry will break
soft, supple prevail

Inspired by the Tao Te Ching
