What we seldom do is dive off of the lilies and into the liquid reality, that fluid stuff that's always changing us, towing us with its current. After a time, the temperature of the magic feels tepid. We get accustomed to its magic and, therefore, lose it. Once we pledge allegiance to a given model of reality, it dissolves all hope of moving forward, of diving in. At the same time, moving forward recklessly with tunnel vision and lack of perspective can be just as dangerous. It's why zen is so useful. It reminds us that every moment -- not every day or every hour, every moment -- is a balancing act, a stabilizing engagement with the truth.
It all comes back to the middle road.
