There are no yardsticks
to measure our progress, no game pieces to move around a game board... There is
no sun to rise or set… We really aren’t sure where we stand...Like a man
floating in the ocean, we could be fifty miles from land of fifteen hundred...we're lost at sea yet we may not be lost at all...
despite this unawareness, we mustn’t lose our focus... Each moment that passes
is one that cannot be retrieved... There is no time like the present to
dedicate ourselves to the path and wisdom of the Dao.
