Tao Bible - Matthew 8:19-20

And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
~ King James version ~

Therefore the sage, traveling all day,
Does not lose sight of his baggage.
~ from Verse 26 of the Tao Te Ching ~
The wise among us avoid excessive attachment and thus are able to travel through life lightly.
