Excerpt
Who knows how glory shines, Yet loves disgrace, nor e'er for it is pale; Behold his presence in a spacious vale, To which men come from all beneath the sky. The unchanging excellence completes its tale; The simple infant man in him we hail.

✨ To meditate on today
According to Lao Tzu, whoever knows glory but accepts humility becomes like a valley open to all; their virtue is fulfilled and they return to perfect simplicity, that of the Tao, at the origin of all things. Today, let someone else shine in your place and savour the peace it gives you.
