Tao Te Ching verse for Pig
The master has no mind of her own.
She works with the mind of the people.
She is good to people who are good.
She is also good to people who are not good.
This is true goodness.
She trusts people who are trustworthy.
She also trusts people who are untrustworthy,
This is true trust.
The Master’s mind is like space.
People don’t understand her.
They look to her and wait.
She treats them like her own children.
(Stephen Mitchell translation)
