Water
Nothing in the world
is as soft, as weak,
as Water.
Nothing else can wear away
the hard, the strong,
and remain unaltered.
Soft overcomes hard,
weak overcomes strong,
everybody knows it
nobody uses the knowledge.
What is softest in this world
rushes and runs over
what is hardest in this world.
This is the Way of Water.
(based on readings of the Tao Te Ching)
