In response to our first Haiku here on the forum, I'd like to offer a second 
and third, along with a quote

Clear mountain water

The life of ten thousand things

Like the highest good


Contact boundary

Clear organismic wisdom

Whole morality


All things arise from Tao.
They are nourished by Virtue.
They are formed from matter.
They are shaped by environment.
Thus the ten thousand things all respect Tao
and honour Virtue.
Respect of Tao and honour of Virtue are
not demanded,
But they are in the nature of things.
