The Tao Te Ching - O Livro do Caminho Virtuoso

10 Harmony

"Carrying body and soul and embracing

the one,

Can you avoid separation?

Attending fully and becoming supple,

Can you be as a newborn babe?

Washing and cleansing the primal

vision,

Can you be without stain?

Loving all men and ruling the country,

Can you be without cleverness?

Opening and closing the gates of

heaven,

Can you play the role of woman?

Understanding and being open to all

things,

Are you able to do nothing?

Giving birth and nourishing,

Bearing yet not possessing,

Working yet not taking credit,

Leading yet not dominating,

This is the Primal Virtue." Tao Te Ching, http://www.thebigview.com/
