This one reminds me of "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving" (Tao Te Ching, chapter 27). I think you and Lao Tzu are on the same wavelength. :)
Diamond, we are walking similarly meandering paths! I’ve long preferred to live as Rilke suggests: “Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” (And, the etymology of my given name happens to be The Wanderer, so that helps. 🤣)
I have long enjoyed #56. Those who speak do not know. Those who know do not speak. I missed the connection to your primary premise. Can you say again the relationship to #56? Thanks.
“The Miss May have been the point” is a great way to say that. I’ve had many failed endeavors that have gotten me to my wins. The road was never straight but I could always see the goal

I’ll have to check out Rilke’s work. Any recommendations?
I have The Essential Rumi on my bookshelf.
I’ll send you some ideas in a bit but in the meantime, here’s my piece containing that quote:

Also, I did DM you.
Amen
Oops my error. I confused #56 of the I Ching with #56 of Tao te Ching. Sorry.
