to regain
your natural clearness of sight.

“… any reasonable person who looks at water, and passes a hand through it, can see that it would not hold a person up… But swimmers know that if they relax on the water it will prove to be miraculously buoyant…”

The Tao of Heaven
doesn’t struggle, but it wins through.
It doesn’t ask
yet it always hears the answer.
It doesn’t demand
yet things come, because they want to be.
It has no desires
yet everything works out as if planned.
And though the Net Of Heaven is wide
Not even the tiniest whisper escapes it.
Tao Te Ching
