this time


When faced with indecision, do nothing until clarity arrives. This is the basic principle of Wu wei 無爲;  wúwéi, 無為,

...a concept of Taoism that involves knowing when to act and when not to act.

Wu Wei implies natural, effortless action; as planets revolve around the sun, they do this revolving but without "doing" it; or as trees grow, they do but without "doing."

Lao-Tzu, ancient philosopher of China, observed…
“Seek not happiness too greedily, 
and be not fearful of happiness.” 
Food, this time, for thought.
