Tao - Fifty

The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to:

no illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn’t think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,

as a man is ready for sleep

after a good day’s work.
