Yes, that's very powerful, I agree. With this perspective there is no limit to possibilities.
But its equally powerful to align with a truth and follow its course. Maybe now I will change the analogy and say truths are like wood floating down a stream (instead of rocks) and we can hop on them until we find a better one.
Ah, but what happens when the stream meets the ocean? And the ocean meets the shore, and the coastal regions meet the mountain ranges? We must find a way to navigate terrain, and also not be so attached to that "way" as to wrongly apply it to new territory. Such as, the wood that got us down the river will not get us up the mountain.
Wow, using my Chinese name really makes me write like an Asian Wiseass.
