Kuai = Breakthrough
Then, out of nowhere, sudden certainty;
A confident conviction fills the air.
You had been hanging back, but now you dare
To take decisive action; you feel free,
Though sensing you could do no differently.
Your gait embodies unselfconscious flare,
That naturally the others want to share,
They join in eager unanimity.
A line divides the future from the past,
As past the river's rambling you can see
An occult energy there manifest.
And all the universe erupts in vast,
Uncontemplated possibility.
