Today I woke up and felt uneasy, reminding me that I’m human.
Tonight I read that People who lived through Yenan remembered seeing caves in valleys crammed with people, “many of whom had gone mad. Some were laughing wildly, some crying” and I felt disillusioned, reminding me that human comprehension is limited by the human mind.
Tonight she put her hands on another man, I was summarily dismissed from the group, and it made me jealous, reminding me that I’m alive.
Tonight I sat on a rickety wooden bench and fingered the yin-yang engraved in the middle, reminding me that it’s all part of the Way.

It’s amazing that you see going around the big rock in the middle of the path. Flexibility like water (rather than brute force) overcoming obstacles is exactly one of the tenets of Taoism, of which is exactly what I kept reminding myself. It’s not easy for me as it doesn’t come naturally (I think we’re born into the North American culture where all we can think of is brute force) but I’m getting better at it.
