Try to keep your expectations reasonable. You’re beginning the journey of a thousand miles with a single step. Each step is important; every step counts. | |

In The Moment

As for increasing or furthering your understanding of reality, if you practice push-hands without attachment to results and without expectations of any sort you will gradually come to a state of functioning without the use of your discriminating intellect. Your mind will not and really cannot draw distinctions of any sort as you push, because your reactions in attack and defense will then slow or stop altogether. It is this state of mind, of being fully in the moment, which prepares the ground for flashes of enlightenment or of seeing the world more clearly. | |

The rainbow is more beautiful than the pot at the end of it; because the rainbow is now. And the pot never turns out to be quite what I expected. | |
