"Pattern and creativity
are the two poles of action"
"It is wise to plan each day. By setting goals for oneself and organizing activities to be accomplished, one can make sure that each day will be full and never wasted.
Followers of Tao use patterns when planning. We observe the ways of nature, perceive invisible lines of destiny. We imagine a pattern for our entire lives, and in this way, we ensure overall success. Each day, we must interim patterns against our master goals, and so navigate life with sureness and grace. It is precisely this ability to discern and manipulate patterns unknown to the ordinary person that make us the followers of Tao so formidable.
When unpredictable things happen, we are so skilled at improvisation. If circumstances deny us, we change immediately. To avoid confusion, we still discern the patterns of the situation and create new ones, much like a chess player at the board. The spontaneous creation of new patterns is our ultimate art."
