A Zen master never gets lost.
I never get lost because I don't know where I'm going.
- Zen master Ikkyu
That quality of not-knowing — purposeful, unhurried, open — is the spirit behind the next chapter of Heron Dance: short posts, paintings, and notes drawn from the hermit poets of the Zhongnan mountains and the Zen masters of Japan.
Wu wei is not passivity — it is the discipline of knowing when to yield.
