It is difficult to get on top of things if you don't first get under them. Understand them, subject to them – subject the self. This our Taoism – apprenticeship. The student spends time with a master, serving, watching, listening, slowly soaking up the energy of the art until the master puts her to use, to practice. Then it becomes a slow incorporation, embodiment, internalization. It takes time to deepen and become real.
