If we are not in the right place at the right time, we cannot possibly take advantage of what life has to offer us. Almost anything is appropriate if an action is in accord with the time and place. But we must be vigilant and prepared. Even if the time and the place are right, we can still miss our chance if we do not notice the moment, if we act inadequately, or if we hamper ourselves with doubts and second thoughts. When life presents an opportunity, we must be ready to seize it without hesitation or inhibition.
Position is useless without awareness.
If we have both, we make no mistakes. It is as easy and natural as the heron standing in the water. The heron is not in mere dumbness or sleep. It knows a lucid stillness. It stands unmoving in the flow of the water.
