The wise woman

Holds oneness in her heart

And her world is at peace

Does not try to please

And therefore shines

Does not seek attention

And therefore excels

Does not justify herself

And is therefore trusted

Does not imitate others

And is therefore herself

Does not compete

And therefore

No one in the world

Can surpass her.

-A rendition of Tao, 22
