This reminds me of an analogy that I've always favored for trying to remember something you just forgot (like in the middle of a conversation). Drop a ring in a shallow river bank accidentally (or a pond, whatever), the more you dig around for it, the more you mix all the sediment into the water and murk it up. Only by letting the sediment settle can you clearly see what's at the bottom and find it again with one careful scoop. When I forget something, I just let it drift and trust that it'll come back.
Actually, it reminds me of another analogy as well, something I read in the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying pertaining to meditation. Thoughts create ripples in the lake of your consciousness. You can no more force the thoughts away and find placidity than you can use physical force to smooth the ripples off the surface of the water. Rather, you have to let them settle on their own, through a conscious act of letting go.
Anyways, love the six. Obviously, very evocative.
