The calm face. What is it like? It is like the breath. I have noticed times when I have stretched myself to the point of not knowing how to resolve a problem or dilemma, only to realize later that the attempt to control it was creating a greater problem in my mind. It is like adding wave upon wave to the water, making it even more turbulent than it was in the first place, when in actuality, a wave already contains its own opposite, and peters out on its own eventually. Why use great force, when in this situation, the matter eventually resolves itself after some time?
If a person exhausts every avenue to solve a problem, the only way to go is a straight line: evenly aware of the problem, not giving into an alarm or a sense of haste in wanting to get rid of it, yet cultivating some curiosity to be better acquainted with it in some way or another. I think this may be what happens when a person beats their head long enough, and realizes that their panic is not making their challenges get easier or go away so quickly.
