 When someone has faith that the gift travels in a circle, according to its own mysterious logic, then that person will be content to wait. Waiting does not mean withholding action. It means acting when it is time to act, and not acting when it is not time to act. That is also what is meant by the Taoist concept of Wu Wei. The common translation of Wu Wei, which is non-action, is really misleading. It leads us into passivity or quietism, and that's not what is meant by Wu Wei at all. It means actually to act in accordance with the Tao. That only makes sense if there is a Tao to begin with, something that we can act in accordance with. In other words, there is an intelligence, or a logos, or a way to the world. All of that is, all of that deep philosophy is part of the worldview of gift.
