peace of mind - Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

What is calm is easy to keep. What has not yet shown signs is easy to channel. What is weak is easy to divide. What is small is easy to scatter. Action must begin with what is not yet there. Putting things in order must begin when there is still no turmoil. For a big tree grows out of a small one, a nine-story tower begins to be built from a handful of earth, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Whoever works will fail. Anyone who owns something will lose. That is why the wise man is inactive and does not fail. He has nothing and therefore loses nothing. Those who, by doing things, hasten to achieve success, will fail. He has nothing, and therefore nothing disappears. Those who experience something rush success will fail. He who finishes his work as he began it will always have well-being. Therefore, a perfectly wise person does not have passion, does not appreciate hard-to-reach objects, learns from those who have no knowledge, and follows the path traversed by others. He follows the naturalness of things and does not dare to act arbitrarily.
