(1) Way of Culture
There are those cultures that go
the way of gold, and those that go
the way of oil;
They don't last.
The cultures that last go
the way of soil, of forest,
of living water;
Only they find the love-energy
that endures.

(2) Watercourse Way
Intelligence is the natural state of the mind.
We do not have to teach water how to move;
we must only take away the arbitrary dams or
blocks which disrupt its natural, harmonious flow.

(3) Security of the Whole
Security is a property
of the whole and its parts,—
not of fragments.*
(4) Complicatedness
Complicatedness,
which is essentially a failure
of perception, results in
unnecessarily convoluted and difficult
systems of thought and design;
Complicatedness,
because of the way it wastes
energy and is therefore
without meaning, is not a feature
of natural movement or structure.
(5) River Run
Form emerges out of movement;
it is the outward
envelope of the rhythmic pulse of life. The river
creates itself the boundaries of the bed that order
and give structure to its flow.

(6) Two Paths
The path of violence;
And the path of peace:
nowhere—
do they cross.
nowhere—
do they meet.
