right now, i think you are at the stage where Quai Chang Cain was before he finally snatched the pebbles from the master's hand..
It's a distant memory now - but I vaguely remember Cain explaining how....
...water that passes around the stone slowly erodes it (meaning you should be flexible) - - and the idiot cowboy answers "Chinaman - I dunno wat the hell yer talkin' about"
