~Lao Tzu
With so many recent happenings with people in my life, I smiled and decided to post this quote today by Lao Tzu who, if you are not familiar with him, wrote one of the oldest known texts - Tao Te Ching. It's composed of only 5,000 characters - but what POWERFUL characters/words they are. It is one of the most widely translated books in the world. It offers an alternative to our way of thinking, feeling, behaving. When it was excavated, they found it to be written on bamboo tablets and dated back to the late 4th century BC. A wonderful text to have around.
