The Water Sign:


What troubles me most are not the inherent problems of Humanity but the heavy-handedness of those who attempt to resolve them by systematic blame. I must make a point forever to remind myself that whatever constructive changes I have made I made in small and subtle ways, in concert with the tradition of upaya (skillful means) and gentle persuasion, rather than an arrogant and egocentric use of fruitless force.

That being said, I must take an aggressive stance nonetheless against the abuse of subtlety. It is too precious a tool to be reduced to a weapon for brute purposes.

Dm.A.A.
