Living in Simplicity

The Tao does nothing,

but leaves nothing undone.

If powerful men

could center themselves in it,

the whole world would be transformed

by itself, in its natural rhythms.

When life is simple,

pretenses fall away;

our essential natures shine through.

By not wanting, there is calm,

and the world will straighten itself.

When there is silence,

one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.

~37th Verse of the Tao Te Ching

(translated by Dr. Wayne Dyer)
