We are like a branches in the wind

The long winter is finally over I hope. The sun shines down on me. While walking down the street, I put on my favorite vintage sunglasses bought on the island of Hvar several years ago. Stripped trees along with bare branches surround me and I have found myself thinking of TAO TE CHING: "The most supple can beat the strongest."

And a little bit more:

"In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present."
