Ursula Le Guin’s translation of the Tao Te Ching is so vibrant this morning To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.

Read this book in a hot tub over winter in a snow storm. Couldn’t think of a better setting for such a great book
