Daoist concept of non action: Do nothing and there is nothing that is not done by Laozi. He means that if we come with fixed ideas and preconceptions, and try to impose our will on events, we are likely to fail. Action succeeds when it is, in a sense, non-action, when our acts are entirely in accord with the disposition of things, so that it's as if our desired outcomes just happen by themselves. Successful action depends on correctly perceiving the innate tendency of situations (what does 'the innate tendency of situations' mean?) and understanding the importance of timing. This requires full alertness to what is going on around us and within ~ Mountain Solitudes by Aat Vervoorn

What a week for New Zealand!

Last week I used the subject “A week with a few differences!” for another blog I post too, little knowing a few hours later New Zealand as we know it, would be different because of the shallow earthquake in Christchurch last Tuesday. It was centered on Lyttelton, and the Central Business District of Christchurch...
