There is a story that was told about Lao Tzu in extreme old age. Lao Tzu apparently asked his disciple to look in his mouth. “What do you see?†asked Lao Tzu. His disciple said he saw nothing. Lao Tzu asked, “No teeth?†The disciple replied, “No, no teeth. But I do see a tongue.†This was Lao Tzu’s dying lesson: that hard, brittle things disappear and the soft and yielding things remain. --
