    The mind is a wanderer
    Widening and bending the Tao with thought
    You need not go where thought leads

    Keep firmly to the center of the path
    Keep your limbs supple
    Your mind open
    Lead by your stride
    Others will follow and pace

    You fall behind when you push
    You lose your way when you pull

    The internal foe offers poor compass
    Flies oft into the face of the wind
    Observe; wait for the air to settle
    The way will clear

    You can tread upon the way
    But you cannot own it

    You can create it; you can tend it
    But you cannot know the path ahead
    You cannot control it

    You master the way
    By mastering yourself
    By mastering the internal foe
