Don't do, just be.
Taoism speaks of non-doing. Abdu'l-Baha said there is magic in the word "be." In the Arabic abjad system, the word "be" has a numeric value of 9, the most complete number: the number of fulfillment.
To be is the most perfect thing we can do. To "do" is to try to make things happen, to push things, to have a need to be in control. To be is to relax, to not-do, to allow the universe to flow, allow God's plan to happen, allow yourself to play your role in it.
Being is beauty. Being is the best thing for yourself, your friends and family, your world, your universe. Being is easy and right.
Not all those who wander are lost...

There is a book on the shelf in my "current" bedroom...called The Tao of Pooh...I will have to get it out and read it. Only two weeks left until the owners get home, and I have so many books to try and read still!
