One With It
Long seeking it through others,
I was far from reaching it.
Now I go by myself;
I meet it everywhere.
It is just I myself,
And I am not itself.
Understanding this way,
I can be as I am.
Ch'an master Tung-shan Ling-chia

Hmm. Not a follower but a solitary pilgrim. A traveler, undistracted, able at last to detatch from the busyness and chaos of the group. To form his own opinions, develop his own thoughts, and listen, and see, and be aware.
