Yes!  I use the same passage (different translation --I like yours better, though) for my Adult School paddling classes.  It always amazes me how readily it is accepted by even beginning students. --And more amazing that so many experienced paddlers have arrived at this over time.  
There is one consummate paddler in this area who is a joy to watch.  He will negotiate a complex path in his canoe, paddle in the water, and you almost never see that paddle move.  

I'll toss another quote out from Wayne Dyer:
"When you dance, your goal is not to reach a particular point on the floor, but to enjoy each step along the way."
