The Tao on Custom House Quay












['Better to die on your feet than live forever on your knees'. La Pasionaria, Custom House Quay]




The Tao never does anything
yet through it all things are done.
If powerful men and women
could centre themselves in it
the whole world would be transformed
by itself, in its natural rhythms.
People would be content
with their simple, everyday lives,
in harmony, and free of desire.
When there is no desire,
all things are at peace.


[Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu]
