Origins of "one less thing" and "letting go"

[Harrison Owen]

My Buddhist friends have always suspected that I was a closet Buddhist.
Likewise my Hindi, Taoist, 1st Nation, and Animist friends. Truth is I am an
Anglican Christian - albeit a strange one. So what else is new?

I love it! "Thinking of one less thing to do" is a throw-away I have used
for years. I've called it the "design principle for OST." If it turns out to
be Taoist that will be superb. Some kind of channeling, I would guess.

PS - Artur I also wrote the Wiki article, now several times revised by
whomsoever. More channeling?

Agreeing with Harrison, you can look far back in history to not find their
origins. For example, these two precepts are also core tenets of
Taoism...old wisdom, good practice. If you'd like citations for each I'd be
happy to dig up for you. Take care, Deidre
