Ursula Le Guin’s translation of the Tao Te Ching is so vibrant this morning

To bear and not to own;
to act and not lay claim;
to do the work and let it go:
for just letting it go
is what makes it stay.

It’s fascinating the way she put this together from several different translations

It was new to me too! I didn’t know she was a poet either; she contained multitudes 💫

Oh wow! I had no idea she did a translation of this! Very cool. I will have to find it

So good! Nice way to reset your brain when it gets filled with a million things

i didn't know this existed! added to the list

I haven't read that one, so no! What is it like?

Hmmm I’ve only read Stephen Mitchels do you know how they compare?

i’m interpreting the last two lines as “put your work onchain, and thats what makes it stay”

oh man, I love that! It does sound perfect

Read this book in a hot tub over winter in a snow storm. Couldn’t think of a better setting for such a great book

She’s amazing and, wow, the Tao

You put the two together and it stops the mind
