Taoism in Perfection, the Art of Sailing

The person swimming against the river, you see, does not by his action express the force of the river. The person swimming with it, he goes along and he has that whole river behind him but he's subtly directing it. You can go to the left or to the right as a ship can use a rudder and still go along with the current. Or more skillful still as a sailboat can tack. Now that is Taoism in perfection, the art of sailing. Very intelligent. Intelligence which without your using very much effort gets everything to cooperate with you. This is a feminine art, preeminent.
