Tao Te Ching, aphorism 2:  
True Seekers are wary
Of all these labels,
Preferring a Way
Of unforced action and stillness. 
Then, without strain, all is accomplished. 
The True Seeker is productive,
But not possessive;
Aware, but not attached;
Fulfilled, but not complacent.     

Thanks to Lisa Walford for sharing this teaching on winter solstice 2024.

"Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me." —Ram Dass
