"When it comes to driving passion,
 I'm usually riding the brakes."

Somewhere between being Te and being Tao, I find a way to be disrupted, to stumble before the first step is taken, to second guess the act before acting is even considered. "I seek to cut free the implement of cutting free;" I think I am so close to no longer inhibiting pure and perfect consciousness that I cannot discern myself from my shadow or reflection, I am dazzled by my perception of their separateness and my inability to perceive the beginning or end of either - and I refuse to simply let go, to accept what I know but fail to see: that one is the other, that neither precedes or follows the other, and that I am inextricably neither, either, and both.
