The ideal is…
a state, not of withdrawal,
but of heightened perceptiveness and responsiveness…
My mind concentrated and my body relaxed, bones and flesh fused completely,
I drifted with the wind East or West, like a leaf from a tree or a dry husk,
and never knew whether it was the wind that rode me or I that rode the wind.
– The Book of Lieh-Tzu –
Does the means really matter rather than the result? Or, really, the destination…
I prefer to think that I am process driven and product oriented…
