My Dao in reponse to looking at nature

Half becomes whole
thick becomes thin
death becomes life

the sage oversees the needs of all
and takes care of his world

weak is strong
brittle has flexibility
the limit is undefined

nature adapts
its method unknown
without locomotion nature moves
the process takes a lifetime

plants thrive where expected
no sunlight no green
no shade many blades
position relative to the center means everything
the sun is the determining factor

death can become life
needs can be met
change may be necessary

colors tell the story
brilliance speaks nourishment
darkness quite the opposite

look at the lone weed
how does it exist
despite that all hate it
it is worthy of much praise

as the only weed
it has completed a major feat
most could never endeavor to attain this

natural selection

why can the ant pick up the leaf
weight is dimensionless
measurements are of the past
ability is of the present
limitless defines strength

it become adaptable and unsurpassable
nature has its own nature
