Sun tzu and lao tzu having tea

Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu shared a quiet tea moment.

Sun Tzu, the skilled military strategist, presented his inquiries:
“Did you see the tree moving?”

Lao Tzu, the calm Zen master, maintained a serene silence.

Sun Tzu tried again: “Did you hear the wind moving?”
Once more, Lao Tze stayed silent.

Sun Tzu, curious, asked: “What did you see and hear?”

Lao Tzu finally spoke: “It was your mind moving.”

Then, Lao Tze shifted the conversation: “How do you like your tea?”

Their exchange, beyond mere words, embodied a dance of profound concepts, a fusion of strategy and mindfulness.
