“Big things seldom come along. One should know the small as well as the big. . . . “We rarely have the occasion to make grand gestures. . . . “We must not fall into the trap of waiting so long for the big things that we let numerous small chances slip right by us. People who do this are always waiting for life to be perfect. ... If they would lower their sights, they would see all the beautiful opportunities swirling around at their feet. If they would humble themselves enough to bend down, they could scoop untold treasures up into their hands.” -- Deng Ming-Dao, 365 Tao, §311, (November 3rd, N. Hemisphere) “Patience does not mean regretfully putting off something you want to happen now. It means discovering the beauty, wonder, and richness of what is happening now so you don’t need to wait for something better to happen. A spiritually mature person is neither patient nor impatient. When you live in the here and now, there is no waiting.” -- Alan Cohen
