the signposts along the way.
You must meet each one correctly.
Wind catching your coat like blackberry brambles: tear free.
The shriek of a fire alam: proceed without panic
Darkness. Light your lamp
Crowds of the restless dead. Offer comfort. You will receive
Smell of jasmine and hot copper. It is
Flooded roads. Don't trust the boats. Rescue a giant fish
If you have met no obstacles, change your path.
The surest sign of all:
your own footprints. Follow them
backward.
Into the zone where air
thickens against your movement. At the heart
of resistance is
your goal.

"If you have met no obstacles, change your path."
This line says it all.
