Sommer Ende

Brim-fill the bowl,
it’ll spill over.
Keep sharpening the blade,
you’ll soon blunt it.

Nobody can protect
a house full of gold and jade.

Wealth, status, pride,
are their own ruin.
To do good, work well, lie low
is the way of the blessing.

From: Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching, a book about the way and the power of the way; a new english version by Ursula Le Guin.

Seems like a very simple thing, yet it so full of meaning. Seems like such a simple imperative for doing, yet how hard is it to actually live by this. All I can do is try and try my best. Seems like a good thing to do for fall.
