Soften the Edges

Blunt the sharpness, untangle the knot, soften the glare, merge with dust. Hidden deep but ever present." ~ Lao Tzu

Often we need to flow into opposites.

It helps to soften the sharp edges.

Search the string with care to untangle each knot.

When glare appears, shade the eyes and smile.










"Water is fluid, soft and yielding but water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield ... what is soft is strong." ~ Lao Tzu





Move from anxieties and launch deeper into life's amusements.

Discover ways of efficiency heading toward a destination.  Also, spend time taking in the scenery.

Take the wild route.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.  - Edward Abbey

Discover moss dragons on the trails of curiosity.
