WATER STANCE

Man suffers not from physical thirst but from spiritual thirst, submitting to temptation because he lacks honour. Reject the easy Way. Instead, taste the Water. It is always sweet. Although the river is pushed aside by the rock, it is not discouraged. Although the wave is defeated by the shore, it returns to fight again.

Water is the cyclical motion of the waves which dissipate themselves along the shore but always to strike again. It is the rain-swollen stream which patiently wears away the rocks which seek to oppose its will. Water continually tests the integrity of its boundaries.
