Follow — but keep a masterFollowing
To follow is not to surrender judgment; it is to choose what deserves following.
Sui is about accord with the current. Thunder within the lake: movement that pleases. No one clears their whole road alone; everyone follows something — the times, a trustworthy person, the discipline of a craft. The question is never whether to follow, but whether you follow lucidly.
A line: bound to the small boy, losing the strong man — clutch the small gain at hand and lose the long-term. The key is having a master: an inner criterion that does not move, so you can follow without losing yourself. Winds may shift and sails adjust, but where the bow points is yours to set.
