"Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, and the crevices. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you." -Sheng-yen

Feel the city breakin' And ev'rybody shakin' And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive. Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' alive. Stayin' alive. ~Bee Gees

Quote:
Samurai Drifter said: "Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi." -Zhuangzi
Whether Chuang Tzu or Zhuangzi (for those who are new to hearing this "name', he is one of the three "historical" Taoists), I've read this same idea/concept a few times and it has affected me differently each time. But now, reading it again, I see/feel something different. well, more like an improved, more elaborate idea/feeling from the previous. And man, this "passage" really touches on a lot. makes me smile <3
