The eighth verse of the Tao haves us to focus on the issue of humility. Examing this verse much closer, it causes the reader to examine the flow of water particularly. Water, as we already know, is that which all living things depend. An even closer examination of water causes us to look particularly as it behaves, as it tends to flow in such a manner that it reaches the lowest part of the earth, where it then settles. Though water is magnificent, it chooses to rest in the lowest valleys. This could possibly mean that we, as humans, should go about our existence in a very humble manner. No matter how magnificent we perceive ourselves to be, we should, perhaps, flow like water.
Happy 70th birthday, Mom (Betty L. Freeman)! Though you returned to the essence four years ago, you are still the most vivid example of humility!
Peace and blessings!
