Buckminster Fuller Himself Was Fond Of Stating That What Seems To Be Happening At The Moment Is Never The Full Story Of What Is Really Going On. He Liked To Point Out That For The Honey Bee, It Is The Honey That Is Important. But The Bee Is At The Same Time Nature's Vehicle For Carrying Out Cross-pollination Of The Flowers.

Non-doing Has Nothing To Do With Being Indolent Or Passive. Quite The Contrary. It Takes Great Courage And Energy To Cultivate Non-doing, Both In Stillness And In Activity.
