Rose-Red Youth

The path into the light seems dark,⁣⁣ the path forward seems to go back,⁣⁣ the direct path seems long,⁣⁣ true power seems weak,⁣⁣ true purity seems tarnished,⁣⁣ true steadfastness seems changeable,⁣⁣ true clarity seems obscure,⁣⁣ the greatest art seems unsophisticated,⁣⁣ the greatest love seems indifferent,⁣⁣ the greatest wisdom seems childish.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The Tao is nowhere to be found.⁣⁣ Yet it nourishes and completes all things.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ — Lao Tzu⁣⁣
