 Move like a shadow,  respond like an echo,  strike like an arrow.
 Free like the wind,  deafening like thunder,  pervasive like space.
 Gentle like the wind,  light like a feather,  unmovable like a mountain.
 Having no fixed view and preference,  free to do what is naturally
 appropriate,  spontaneously,  by reflex - this is my heart advice.
 But then words are very easy and cheap.
