C.G. : Sacred Vow

Re: Vulnerability

A variation from a verse of the Tao Te Ching:

Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as [openess],
Yet nothing can better overcome the hard and strong,
For they can neither control nor do away with it.

The soft overcomes the hard,
The yielding overcomes the strong;
Every person knows this,
But no one can practice it.

……there is nothing that the human heart cannot endure.


—-then on a different strain….what I find myself to fear (perhaps more than vulnerability) is great achievement.
   Would you feel no fear if you woke tomorrow and realized you could “walk on water”?
