Summary

| Description |
newborn – we are tender and weak in death – we are rigid and stiff living plants are supple and yielding dead branches are dry and brittle so the hard and unyielding belong to death and the soft and pliant belong to life an inflexible army does not triumph an unbending tree breaks in the wind thus the rigid and inflexible will surely fail while the soft and flowing will prevail Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu How does this tree fit into Lao Tzu's writing? It is both bent and broken - perhaps a better allegory for our lives. Even when we bend, parts of us sometimes still break. But we can survive with both breaks and bends. |
