eye of cloudPosted by hunter in Untagged |
cloud's eye saw me mourn
relative words for child's concern
sun shined through it reaching heart
showing surrounding humyn sounds
of nature's cycle generating beauty,
as withered rose causes no scorn
reality, wonder, children, others torn
rising falling still prevail
even cloud's burst, death, and travail.




The [morally] noble woman guards herself against three things. When she is young, her xue-qi has not yet stabilized, so she guards herself against sexual passion. When she reaches her prime, her xue-qi is not easily subdued, so she guards herself against combativeness. When she reaches old age, her xue-qi is already depleted, so she guards herself against acquisitiveness.
