Tao Te Ching 78

1There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water, and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing that can take precedence of it;--for there is nothing (so effectual) for which it can be changed.

2Every one in the world knows that the soft overcomes the hard, and the weak the strong, but no one is able to carry it out in practice.

3Therefore a sage has said, 'He who accepts his state's reproach, Is hailed therefore its altars' lord; To him who bears men's direful woes They all the name of King accord.'

4Words that are strictly true seem to be paradoxical.

WEBREATH · 11:11

«Giving undivided attention to the vital breath, one can become as a tender babe» — Tao Te Ching 10

Breath is one for all: everyone lives by it, whoever they are and whatever they believe. Every day at 11:11 local time people stop for sixty seconds, breathe, and thank GOD for the breath — each in their own words, each within themselves. In that minute we are One Breath.

WEBREATH — the Minute at 11:11, your own local time — we are One Breath
