Create and Destroy

The Unspoken flows everywhere, creating and destroying.
The World depends upon It;
It gives everything for nothing.

It nurtures all things,
Though It expects nothing in return.
It has no aim;
So it seems un-important.

It makes all things appear, disappear and reappear,
Though It expects nothing in return.
It is eternal;
So it seems all-important.

The Wise expects no reward,
He is in harmony with the world.


The tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu
