Excellent post as always @hanshotfirst! It is a very intriguing concept, this Wu Wei, that almost exactly correlates with being present minded, in that one flows, acts, and accepts continuously without conscious thought. But, exactly as is the case with your explanation of this aspect of Taoism, the fact that it looks effortless in practice has no relation to the amount of effort a practitioner has to expend to get to the point of making it look easy:-) I loved the example of your daughter, I think a lot of times we are true experts of the Tao as children, are taught by adults to turn away from all truth unto fables of conformity and social standards, then spend the rest of our lives trying to become as wise as little children again. Thank you for sharing your thoughts:-)
