The
unexpected can only test a formula, not destroy it. The Dao formula keeps us
balanced and in understanding even when things do not go according to plan. No

almost always a hitch, a detour, or a snag. Always expect the unexpected and be
ready to adapt. It is the flexible branch that bends in the wind and survives.
It is the un-flexible branch that breaks and falls to the ground.
