GENTLE BUT STRONG:
In this world there is nothing softer or thinner than water
but to compel the hard and yielding it has no equal.
That the weak overcomes the strong
that the hard gives way to the gentle,
this everyone knows, yet no one acts accordingly.
(Lao-Tzu 6th C - BC)

HERMIT RULE 4:
Do not let the world’s discord affect you, nor be afraid. Be mindful in all that you do. Keep your lives simple and with the help of God you will overcome any obstacle.
St. Francis of Assisi is known for his deep love of creation and radical simplicity.
