The relation of the Tao to all the world is like that of the great rivers and seas to the streams from the valleys.

According to Lao Tzu, the Tao is present everywhere in the universe, and all beings return to It as mountain streams flow into the rivers and the sea. Today, as you watch water flowing (a tap, a river, the rain), remember that you too are on your way towards this common source, and let this thought bring you peace.
