Deng deng! 
What an awesome addition to your dreams Turtle. The front was also good. The whole cookie expresses an attitude of passive receptivity. Which is exactly the mindframe advised to us by those who would practice certain martial arts. We're not steering, we're just following the mystery.
I like the investment strategy analogy. Great stuff. Connecting to life is really investing yourself in it. If you invest heavily into it, it can seem like you lose a lot when expectations don't pan out as you hoped. If you invest nothing in it you will always just be dipping your toes into the water you won't make it yours and the feeling of losing it will feel trivial. I guess the point is knowing this, and investing actively in those things that you feel are important while leaving the things you consider less important on a backburner.
