Tao Te Ching 4

The Tao is like a deep well,
used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
filled with infinite possibilities.

The Tao:

Smooths out the sharp edges,
Harmonizes the disputes,
Softens the intensity, and
Merges all into earthly dust.

It is hidden but always present.
I don't know who gave birth to it.
It is older than Heaven and Earth.
