I remember once bemoaning to my teacher the difficulty of his work, his way. I explained that at school and university I was always the best because I was clever and that with work everything became clear but with Taiji the more I worked the muddier it became. He looked at me and said, "Well aren't you lucky to finally find something you're bad at." Then, taking pity on my helplessness, he added, "You must stop using this," tapping me on the head, "And start using this," prodding me firmly in the chest. And it is really that simple: a switch from head to heart.
