Retweeting - 
I was raised in a household where it made a difference when food prices went up.

Fighting inflation has been my top economic priority – and it’s working.

Under Bidenomics, the inflation rate has gone down by more than half since last Summer.

Taoist or Daoist 'wu wei' (inaction) quotes about water?



water/wu wei supports and carries effortlessly


water/wu wei is supple and soft, and adapts itself


it is the suppleness and softness of water/wu wei that also subdues what is hard

"Nothing in the world is softer or weaker than water" 


with patience, in its stillness, water/wu wei can offer clarity and focus on the Tao






What is the Tao quote about water?
Be like water.

Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard.




*
The highest good is like water, for the good of water is that it nourishes everything without striving. It occupies the place which all men think bad [i.e., the lowest level].17 [102d] It is thus that Tao in the world is like a river going down the valley to the ocean.18 [102e] The most gentle thing in the world overrides the most hard.19 [102g] How do coves and oceans become kings of a hundred rivers? Because they are good at keeping low— That is how they are kings of the hundred rivers.20 [102f] Nothing in the world is weaker than water, But it has no better in overcoming the hard.21 [101a]


AND


When water is still, it is like a mirror, reflecting the beard and the eyebrows. It gives the accuracy of the water-level, and the philosopher makes it his model. And if water thus derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind? The mind of the Sage being in repose becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.22 [59a]   The fluidity of water is not the result of any effort on the part of the water, but is its natural property. And the virtue of the perfect man is such that even without cultivation there is nothing which can withdraw from his sway. Heaven is naturally high, the earth is naturally solid, the sun and moon are naturally bright. Do they cultivate these attributes?23 [63b]
Alan W. Watts, Tao: The Watercourse Way

Daoism

First published Wed Feb 19, 2003; substantive revision Thu Jun 28, 2007
"The bulk of the Daode Jing is thus given over to motivating this paradoxical attitude. Its familiar strategy centers on the notion of “reversal.”  . . . or motivating valuing the opposite (non-being, water, the female, the lower position etc.)."

"The Zhuangzi hints at this in a famous image, humans live and act in ways as fish live and act in water."


"We partition dao by modification. So we can talk about, e.g., my-dao, Sage-King’s-dao, natural-dao, past-time’s-dao and so forth. This feature explains why dao appears more metaphysical than ‘way’ and invites the familiar Daoist spatial metaphors like “humans interact in dao as fish do in water” (Zhuangzi Ch. 6). Dao is a little like the water—an expanse constituting the realm in which humans live, work and play.  . . . "

"Although it’s insightful to say humans live in dao as fish do in water, the insight is lost if we simply treat dao as being or some pantheistic spiritual realm."
