“Be like water making its way through crack.
Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way round it or through it.

Moving be like water.
Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”

While non-believers
Watched from below.”

Not thinking but not dreaming.
Not being set but flexible.
Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement.
It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.”
