“But if you get with it—in other words, you accept the situation, you flow with it—you come alive. Because you acquire courage, you’re not defending yourself all the time. You acquire energy, because you’re not all locked up, wondering what’s going to happen next. You get the capacity to take risks, and you can’t have a free people unless you are willing to take risks—it’s all gambling. So this falling apart of everything, which incidentally is what makes it alive—change is life—this is the Tao.”
