Chuang Tzu Story - When the shoe fits
Chu’i the draftsman
could draw more perfect circles
freehand than with a compass
His fingers brought forth
spontaneous forms from nowhere
His mind was meanwhile free and
without concern with what he was doing
No application was needed
his mind was perfectly simple
and knew no obstacle
So, when the shoe fits,
the foot is forgotten
when the belt fits, the belly is forgotten
and when the heart is right,
'for' and 'against' are forgotten
No drives, no compulsions,
no needs, no attractions
then your affairs are under control
you are a free man
Easy is right
begin right and you are easy
continue easy and you are right
The right way to go easy
is to forget
the right way
and forget that
the going is easy
