Wu Wei - working with Inner Nature

There are a few attitudes which helped Robin through her journey, and which continue to help me through mine. I may have already mentioned this idea in January when I was re-reading the "Tao of Pooh" to Robin while she was in the hospital.

Paraphrased from book:
----------------
"At the Gorge of Lu a great waterfall plunges thousands of feet into churning waters.

One day, K'ung Fu-tse saw an old man being tossed about in the turbulent waters below the waterfall. His disciples ran to the man's rescue, but by the time they reached the water the old man had climbed out.

Kung Fu-tse hurried up to the old man and asked how he had survived.

The old man said it was nothing special. He explained that he began to learn when he was very young (and continued to practice) how to go down with the water and to come up with the water. He follows it and forgets himself. He survives in the turbulent water because he doesn't struggle against the water's superior power."
