* Tao Wisdom ☯ – fire and stillness

sunset in winter
Fiery sunset in Waterlogue

 

Movement is necessary to overcome the cold,

But when excessive movement threatens to set the world aflame,

Cool stillness will bring things back to order.*

 

Wise words for the ever changing weather outside and within us all.
