Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
….
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
….
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes
the obstacle to our acting.
The impediment to action advances action.
What stands in the way becomes the way.
Marcus Aurelius
