			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; margin: 10px;" src="http://rcmoncrief.com/greenbrierherbalist/blog/wp-content/images/flowingwater.jpg" alt="flowing water" />As sparkling creek water tumbles over the rocks, Lao Tzu&#8217;s words from the Tao te Ching float by:</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Nothing under heaven is as<br />
soft and yielding as water.<br />
Yet for attacking the hard and strong,<br />
nothing can compare with it.&#8221; </strong></em></p>
<p>The water simply follows its True Nature, its innate intention, which is to yield completely to the law of gravity. In the flow of total alignment with its True Nature water has the power to wear down rocks and demolish anything in its path.</p>
<p>Imagine how powerful each one of us can be against any obstacle by just aligning with our own True Nature.</p>
