“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Not thinking but not dreaming.

It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.”
