“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it” Lao Tzu
passing by with ease
like water over pebbles
time waits for no one
The challenge for
Carpe Diem #1521 Lao Tzu … flexibility of water
is to distill a quote from Lao Tzu into a haiku.

Nice twist. Time, like water, eroding all in its path, eventually. Far harder to dodge time than water …
