Man, when he is merely what he seems to be, is almost nothing.
The real "it is well" is something I say from the ground, having fallen.
Yes, I will try to be. Because I believe that not being is arrogant.
I have been my own disciple and my own master. And I have been a good disciple but a bad master.
My great day came and went, I do not know how. Because it did not pass through dawn when it came, nor through dusk when it went.
Situated in some nebulous distance I do what I do so that the universal balance of which I am a part may remain a balance.
