While Following the Path

Trying to follow a particular way is not always easy.

While following the path,
        quite often I've fallen
        from not knowing to trying to know.
A daily thought,
A single ambition
        waking non-balance within a soul.

Seek the Jade Maiden threading the shuttle
as crane opens its wings;
speak to the tiger returning to mountain,
        find balance within the dream.

So as the Monkey,
seek not a thought,
        let ambition fall to its own;
step back on the path
        from doing to not-doing,
        non-balance will leave you alone.
