Be Zhuangzi's useless tree. Too gnarled for the carpenters to cut down.

    Just don't be a goose that can't cackle. Be both the gnarled tree and the silent goose chosen for dinner.

    Be both useful & useless, without being either, or be both. A river freezes in winter, flows in spring and runs backwards sometimes after an earthquake. Dao can also spell Ado. Such is the art of confusion. Goodbye & hello.
