Harmonizing with the Tao

To be perfectly harmonized with

the Tao is like perfectly centered

clay on the potter’s wheel.

 

It can not be verbalized, but

you feel it when you

have achieved it.

 

Just like clay, we can

get off balance, but we can

always center ourselves again.

 

Clay can get fatigued. So

can we. Centering in a fatigued

state is impossible.

 

Strong, even clay without

air bubbles is the easiest

to center.

 

It takes courage and lots of

practice, and to accept

failures until we succeed.
