What way from here to there
encounters no struggle
What that becomes from what that was
sheds the was at not great pains

What that evolves
does not in bits
steps forward
steps back

And the next step often
can be not even known.
Only stepping
only stepping
only to keep stepping.

From the last stepping
a piece is learned for the next.
Without struggle we see not a thing to be learned
Without suffering is gained not what is suffered through.
