"The myriad things ...."

The myriad things become active
And I thereby watch them return.
Things are teeming and multifarious,
But each returns to its roots.



All under Heaven had a beginning.
It can be taken as the mother of all under Heaven.
Once you have obtained the mother,
you can thereby know the sons.
Once you have know the sons, you can return and hold fast to the mother.
Until the end there will be no harm.
Lao Tzu
