Water, life-nourishing.
The highest motive in life is to be like water. It fights nothing or no one. It flows from and back to its source and in the flowing smooths and wears away all resistance.
- Taoist Proverb
The best are like water
bringing help to all
without competing
choosing what others avoid
hence approaching the Tao
dwelling with earth
thinking with depth
helping with kindness
speaking with honesty
governing with peace
working with skill
and moving with time
and because they don't compete
they aren't maligned.
- Red Pine translation, Lao-tzu's Taoteching
. . .
A search for the peace and equanimity
To be like water
Yielding
Life-nourishing
Acting with kindness
To be a benevolent entity
And be of use.
