Silence, patience, compassion

Written by Alain Herriott on 10/12/2025. Posted in Thought for the Week.

We would like to offer this simple thought:

Number 67 of the Tao te Ching says:

“…. I have just three things to teach:

simplicity, patience, compassion.

These three are your greatest treasures.

Simple in actions and in thoughts,

you return to the source of being.

Patient with both friends and enemies,

you accord with the way things are.

Compassionate toward yourself,

you reconcile all beings in the world.

If we choose to enjoy each day and be at ease with ourself and others, then balance becomes a way of life.

~Alain & Jody Herriott
