Learning how to leave things alone, in our ecosystems as well as our built and social systems, is invaluable. Being able to just be with such things, observe, see how things develop on their own, how some wounds heal naturally and others do not. And, the results of that kind of learning in my experience include plenty of callings, ways we can and do participate actively to make life more wonderful.
In general, so much human activity is so frenzied and disconnected, that “Just do less” seems like generally applicable advice but it’s more like one-sided advice which is good on average given our current society, but obviously is not on point 100% of the time.
Right?
