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

Anonymity – the quality or state of being unknown or unacknowledged

Anonymity – the quality or state of being unknown or unacknowledged

I was thinking some years back as the web developed that it’d pretty near be impossible for me to remain anonymous in what many now call cyberspace. Or could I remain a little wispy like these two angels… For a start even back then it seemed obvious my work...
