"Si esperas la llegada del cartero, nunca llega, Si esperas la llegada del amor, solo llegará la forma, no la locura. Si esperas la salida del sol, en el ocaso, te consumirás en la espera". - Lao Tse. #enelcaminodelosiempreposible #laotse #taotejing #art #watercolour #sanfranciscoarttour (at United States)

To know that one does not know is best; Not to know but to believe that one knows is a disease. Only by seeing this disease as a disease can one be free of it. Sages are free of this disease; Because they see this disease as a disease, they are free of it.

The Daodejing

Fun fact: the Daodejing was not written by Laozi or any other single individual, but rather by a group of primitivists collecting various works over time during the Warring States Period (403-221 B.C.E.). The version which we have emerged in its current form some time during the third century B.C.E.
