step 8     FLEXIBLE LIKE WATER back to base

Tao Tao te Ching 36

Water is a powerful force of nature. It can go around obstacles with ease. nothing can stop it..it wears away stone with time. water is cyclic. It evaperates into the air and then comes down as rain..nothing will stop it from reaching the ocean again. like water we're on a journey home..nothing in this world can stop us from reaching our home.and this is reassuring. Trust in the way. Surrender to it and dont be swayed by your conditioning that says life has to be a struggle . ..if you struggle you are adopting the characteristics of force and rigidity   as opposed to gentleness and flexability
