what's
well
rooted
can't
be
pulled up
what's
held
tight
in the arms
can't
slip
like
the way
generations
go on
sacrificing
at one altar
cultivate
the way
in your self
and its worth
makes
you
genuine
cultivate
the way
in the family
and
it brings
simple
abundance
cultivate
the way
in a town
and
the community
grows
together
cultivate
the way
in the world
and
its strength
spreads
everywhere
by contemplating
the way
inside
you
you perceive
individuals
through
your
own
family
you grasp
all
through
your
own
town
all
towns
through
your
own
world
all
worlds
how
do
I
know
about
these worlds?
this way
