What an outstanding commentary. So many events, life experiences, that we "think" or "want" to control are totally driven by circumstances. We work so hard on decision making, not realizing that our only influence is waiting for the pieces to arrange themselves. In some measure this is following the line of least resistance, something mentioned in the Tao Te Ching. All comes to (s)he who waits. Well doing David, thanks.

Waiting seems to be the space between actions. To paraphrase your comment. That might be a Tibetan validation. As I consider #39 there are some subtleties that actions in difficult places should be avoided but actions that are not challenging are ok in this period of evaluation. Jung might have something to say about this. I will see if there is anything tomorrow.
