   Yes, if we were perfect our essence would be unchanging, but our   
   manifestation would still be constantly changing in order to remain as it   
   was in balance with the constant changing of the world, right?   
      
   This is how what I call Tao remains constant yet ever-changing; its essence   
   remains constant, perfect, and its appearance changes constantly.  Like   
   water flows downhill wherever it can, events flow forward wherever they   
   must.
