Sail afar:
But take an anchor.
Climb high:
But guard your step.
Enter the maze:
But hold the thread.
Lift the veil:
But shield the eye.
Dark Matter?
Bright Spirit!
Tao regards static
balance as akin to stagnation, obstruction,
frustration, boredom and delay.
Tao's
balance is dynamic: favouring bold action, but avoiding
blind rashness; taking initiatives, whilst staying
grounded.
A skilled
climber is well aware of the importance of
retaining balance when making moves. Those who
lose it are heading for a fall!
Sturdy stability allied to an economy of
action is the basis of several
'martial arts'; or when combined with graceful movement, of
Tai-Chi.
