“The ideal is unnatural naturalness, or natural unnaturalness. I mean it is a combination of both.
I mean here is natural instinct and here is control. You are to combine the two in harmony.

No longer a human being.
It is a successful combination of both.
That way it is a process of continuing growth.
Be water, my friend.”
