SENSE OF PURPOSE

DELIGHT

Watch the sky:
Rejoice in its clarity
- but take heed of its portents.

Taste the water:
Embrace its freshness
- but beware of becoming stale.

Listen to the fire:
Bask in its warmth
- but avoid consuming fiercely.

Feel and smell the earth:
Grow wholesome in its richness
- but turn away from excess.


ICON

'Primal Virtue' denotes fundamental attitudes which accord with Tao. Manifestations of these with regard to the environment
  include organic farming and gardening; and a respect and reverence for the beauty and sanctity of wild landscapes and habitats.

Actions which aim to harmonise with natural processes, rather than tending to dominate or oppress them, are seen to be sustainable;
whereas those which are opposed lead to unstable and unsustainable imbalances, such as global warming and depletion of soil fertility.
