‘You must learn to wait properly’
‘And how does one learn that?’
‘By letting go of yourself, leaving yourself and everything yours behind you so decisively that nothing more is left of you but a purposeless tension’

Serenity is the final word of all the teachings;
Reflection is the response to all manifestations.

If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean ‘taint nobody’s biz-ness if I do, do, do, do.
If I go to church on Sunday, then just shimmy down on Monday, ‘Taint nobody’s biz-nes if I do if I do.
We are not wholly bad or good
Who live our lives under Milk Wood,
And Thou, I know, wilt be the first
To see our best side, not our worst.
- Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) in Under Milkwood
