When beauty is expected, ugly accompanied. If ugliness take the forefront, beauty follow from behind. The Way of the Great Mother is subtle and endless. Learn to be patience by yielding and being found. The woman wisdom of everything holds and nourishes. She is mother.

One day, Du Fu saw through the window, an old lady picking dates at his garden when he was writing with his Chinese brush in his study-room. He walked to the garden to see who is the woman. Trembled, she explained to Du Fu " I live alone and I am picking some dates to fill my stomach. There is not a grain of rice at home. " Instead of reprimanding her, Du Fu helped her to pluck more dates for the basket she brought along. Du Fu told her to come again to pluck the dates at any time she likes.

Later, Du Fu moved to another village and he pleaded with his relative, Wu, to allow the woman to continue to pick dates. Instead of keeping his promise, Wu, fenced up the garden and forbade the woman to pick dates. When Du Fu found out the truth from his visit to the woman, he was angry and he wrote a poem for Wu.

She picks the dates but stop her not,
An old lady, poor and forlorn.
In dire straits,
What else could she have done ?
A little kindness is all she needs.
...
...


The educated Wu felt ashamed, and quickly pulled down the fence to let the woman pick dates again.
