When we see sculptures made of clay or wood, or we see bushes and trees neatly trimmed into geometric shapes, we are seeing creations that are not true to their nature. An artist or workman has shaped them into what he or someone else desired. In this same way, we are shaped by the experiences and influences that we have. Always strive to remain pure in nature and allow only the loving hands of the Tao to form you into what you become.
