Moving freely ...


Only one who has seen through things understands “moving freely as one and the same”.
In this way, rather than relying on your own distinctions, you dwell in the ordinary.
To be ordinary is to be self-reliant; to be self-reliant is to move freely; and to move freely is to arrive.
That’s almost it, because to arrive is to be complete.
But to be complete without understanding how - that is called Way.

From Chuang Tzu, The Inner Chapters, translated by David Hinton (Berkeley, 2013)
