When turmoil abounds

The world moves too quickly

Fecklessness pervades

Impatience intrudes

To draw upon the deeper mind

The settled spirit

The strength of being

The inner self

To see the distant view

The larger frame

The deeper meanings

The less visible truths

To nurture the formation of soul

And the foundation of wisdom.

Dangerous openness

to things not known

or well thought through,

loss of capacity

to establish critical distance;

no restraint on apology,

resort to feelings of inadequacy

and self blame;

too ready deference

to the other.
