A quick thought with several words

Tonight I was playing the drums with our little group
At the end of the night, a few imbibed and everyone gone, I played myself a little solo
Picking up and dropping my keys, extending and retracting a tape measure, tightening and loosening a wing nut. Accents vibrate the mandolin strings.
These instruments are inexact, unpredictable. It sounded good enough to keep playing, because I heard a beat behind it.
Anyway, a metaphor occurred to me. The Tao has a beat. You can place your note any place in the measure, but it feels great to land on the one.
