The chess board is the world the pieces are the phenomena of the universe the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us.

A strange thing happened then. The Speaker agreed with her that she had made a mistake that night and she knew when he said the words that it was true that his judgement was correct. And yet she felt strangely healed as if simply speaking her mistake were enough to purge some of the pain of it. For the first time then she caught a glimpse of what the power of speaking might be. It wasnt a matter of confession penance and absolution like the priests offered. It was something else entirely. Telling the story of who she was and then realizing that she was no longer the same person. That she had made a mistake and the mistake had changed her and now she would not make the mistake again because she had become someone else someone less afraid someone more compassionate.
A path is only a path and there is no affront to oneself or to others in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. Look at every path closely and deliberately.

Mistakes are the growing pains of wisdom. Without them there would be no individual growth no progress no conquest.
If I had my life to live over Id like to make more mistakes next time. Id relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual trouble but Id have fewer imaginary ones. You see Im one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour day after day. Oh Ive had my moments and if I had to do it over again Id have more of them. In fact Id try to have nothing else. Just moments one after another instead of living so many years ahead of each day.
