85. 点前には重きを軽く軽きをば重く扱ふ味ひをしれ
temae niwa omoki wo karuku, karuki woba omoku atsukau ajiwai wo shire
Handle things light as though they are heavy, and things heavy as though light
Skilfully weaving opposites creates beauty in the tea rite

An obtuse temae starts and stops without rhythm: slow fast slow fast slow;
Dull air, dense communication with nowhere to go
