Heaven and Earth

The Creative knows the great beginnings. The Receptive completes the finished things.
The Creative knows through the easy. The Receptive can do things through the simple.
What is easy, is easy to know; what is simple, is easy to follow. The person who is easy to know attains fealty. The person who is easy to follow attains works. Those who possess attachments can endure for long; those who possess works can become great. To endure is the disposition of the sage; greatness is the field of action of the sage.
By means of the easy and the simple we grasp the laws of the whole world. When the laws of the whole world are grasped, therein lies perfection.
(Ta Chuan/The great treatise)

One has been following Heaven and Earth for decades, putting into practice what is easy and what is simple and yet unable to grasp the laws of the whole world. So wherein lays perfection? Perhaps one day.
