Following the path of
the Dao is not easy, but following it makes things easy. Yet, so many choose to
follow a far more difficult path. To be in accord with the Dao makes the
mountains easier to pass through, the oceans easier to cross, and the skies
simpler to travel. The way of the Dao is the elevator that takes you past the
1000 steps in a steep staircase which may end up leading nowhere.
