The Zen archery metaphor is brilliant here. Direct paths assume predictability but real breakthroughs happen when we allow for detours and indirection. Worked in education for awhile and totally saw this, thehallway conversations often produced deeper insights than any structured lesson could
Always timely.
Your post made me think of this Emily Dickinson poem.
"Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —"
Yes! I love E.D. So wonderful.
