"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet . Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said. "What's that?" the Unbeliever asked. "Wisdom from the Western Taoist,"I said. "It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh," he said. "It is," I said. "That's not about Taoism," he said. "Oh, yes it is," I said.

He taught me something that I've always remembered: After we did the initial assignment, he contradicted what he had said the first week, and I said, "Okay."

At the end, he said, "You may think I've contradicted myself, but there's no one way to do anything."
