“Civilizations Will Crumble
The hardest walls will crumble and
the most thriving civilisations will fall;
but Nature, with all its might—
incarnated in gentle processes, graceful resilience,
and eloquent harmony—
will effortlessly remain to reign.
The path of resistance is
the way to death;
the path of non-resistance is
the way to deathlessness.”
