Wu wei, loosely translated, means doing what needs to be done by doing nothing. To me, it seems to encompass trusting that I’ll know how to respond to any situation without trying to mold reality into how I think it should be.
The Comfort of Connection
Contagious Joy
Making Space for Each Other
Making room for others’ differences, opinions, and eccentricities gives me pause. Can I observe the differences between us without feeling like I have to persuade you to my opinion or personal preference? Is it possible for me not to defend what I like or think or feel but simply make room in my observation for yours?
Sing, Sing a Song
I’m trying to read a book on my tablet, but I can’t quite concentrate on the words because a man five rows behind me is singing loudly, as if he is one of the Supremes backing up Diana Ross. I’m a little put off because I can’t concentrate on my book with this singing. Doesn’t he know the rules by heart like me?
