Snowflakes
Clouds do not drift in the wrong direction,
Nor do snowflakes fall in the wrong place.
A fish can thrash against the current
And make no progress;
Or it can do nothing, and float for miles.
When you let go of the handrail of life,
No wrongs can befall you.
If you open your mind to the Dao,
You can never die.
Nor do snowflakes fall in the wrong place.
A fish can thrash against the current
And make no progress;
Or it can do nothing, and float for miles.
When you let go of the handrail of life,
No wrongs can befall you.
If you open your mind to the Dao,
You can never die.
by Richard Seymour

The " LET GO ". formula used in a poetic way, is alright for an easy-go-lucky person to follow the ebb and flow of his fate, as long as the going is good, until the flow ends in a deep waterfall. He can always blame Fate for his downfall, or keep wondering why it happened. Alternately, one can trust that decision making ( handrails ) alone guides our destiny and failures can be attributed to bad management. Anyway, the ultimate truth is, one can only toss the coin. Whether it is " head" or " tail " is determined by Dao. N.G.RAO
