23

 Express yourself completely,
 then keep quiet.
 Be like the forces of nature:
 when it blows, there is only wind;
 when it rains, there is only rain;
 when the clouds pass, the sun shines through

 If you open yourself to the Tao,
 you are at one with the Tao
 and you can embody it completely.
 If you open yourself to insight,
 you are at one with insight
 and you can use it completely.
 If you open yourself to loss,
 you are at one with loss
 and you can accept it completely.

 
Open yourself to the Tao,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.
                             -Tao Te Ching
