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
