like water

With the thoughts of the last few days, I keep remembering this favorite passage from the Tao Te Ching:



The best of man is like water,
Which benefits all things, and does not contend with them,
Which flows in places that others disdain,
Where it is in harmony with the Way.

Maybe because the way water flows, it also finds the narrow way, the way through.
