Summary

This quote suggests that the process of evolution or change begins with a state of instability and undergoes organization until a state of equilibrium is reached. However, once equilibrium is attained, further development or progress can only occur by disrupting or overturning the existing equilibrium. The analogy of a journey of a thousand miles emphasizes the importance of taking action to initiate progress, but also warns against impulsive actions that may spoil or hinder the journey. At the same time, it cautions against complacency or inaction that may cause one to lose the opportunity for growth and development.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace. To avoid the first danger, one should plant a garden, preferably where there is no grocer to confuse the issue. To avoid the second, he should lay a split of good oak on the andirons, preferably where there is no furnace, and let it warm his shins while a February blizzard tosses the trees outside. If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.
