Recent, simple to correct.
Brittle breaks at slightest touch,
Small things scatter, unchecked.
Preventing trouble before it starts,
Ordering chaos before it appears.
A giant pine from a sprout does grow,
A thousand miles begin right here.
Rushing, you falter,
Grasping, you lose.
Force spoils the near-complete,
Letting be is the wiser muse.
The Master acts by not acting,
Calm in beginning and end.
Owning nothing, nothing to lose,
Desireless, his wishes transcend.
He learns by unlearning,
Reminds of true being within.
Caring not for the world,
Thus, for everything, his care extends.
