Concerning the Trump administration and the prophesied Blue Tsunami:

                       ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

A truly good person is not aware of their goodness
and is therefore good.
A foolish person tries to be good
and is therefore not good.

A truly good person does nothing
yet leaves nothing undone.
A foolish person is always doing
yet much remains to be done.

When a truly kind person does something they leave nothing undone.
When a just person does something they leave a great deal to be done.
When a disciplinarian does something and no one responds, that person rolls up their sleeves in an attempt to enforce order.

Therefore when Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost, there is justice.
When justice is lost, there is ritual.
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.
Knowledge of the future is only a flowery trapping of Tao.
It is the beginning of folly.

Therefore the truly great person dwells in what is real
and not what is on the surface,
On the fruit and not the flower.
Therefore accept the one and reject the other.

Empty yourself of everything.
Let the mind rest at peace.
The ten thousand things rise and fall and then return to the source.
Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.
The way of nature is unchanging.
Knowing constancy is insight.
Not knowing constancy leads to disaster.
Knowing constancy, the mind is open.
With an open mind, you will be openhearted.
Being openhearted, you will act royally.
Being royal, you will attain the divine.
Being divine, you will be at one with the Tao.
Being at one with the Tao is eternal.
And though the body dies, the Tao will never pass away.
