Living the tao

My husband has been reading zen and taoist texts for a very long time. The teachings and lessons are part of his everyday life.

He keeps a very low profile, does nothing to attract attention to himself, remains modest and quiet. He is anonymous, bland and indistinct. No one would imagine what skills he possesses or what insights he is capable of.

This is not an act, a conceit or some perverse kind of pride. There is literally no desire whatsoever to be famous, noticed or special in any way at all.
