, as is often the case, what I hoped wouldn’t happen happened, and turned out to be very fortuitous.

I don’t push or pull or steer. I wait for the pieces to appear and then proceed into effortless

The reason for all the excess is that there’s no saying it directly because there’s no it, so everything has to be communicated indirectly—what it’s not, what it’s like—never what it is.
Joey Schumanshas quoted2 years ago
The man in whom Tao acts without impediment Does not bother with his own interests And does not despise others who do.
He does not struggle to make money And does not make a virtue of poverty.
He goes his way without relying on others And does not pride himself on walking alone.
While he does not follow the crowd He won’t complain of those who do.
Rank and reward make no appeal to him; Disgrace and shame do not deter him.
He is not always looking for right and wrong Always deciding “Yes” and “No.”
The ancients said, therefore:
“The man of Tao remains unknown. Perfect virtue produces nothing No-Self is True-Self And the greatest man is Nobody.”
