Simplicity, patience, compassion. | |
These three are your greatest treasures. | |
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. | |
Patient with both friends and enemies, | |
you accord with the way things are. | |
Compassionate toward yourself, | |
you reconcile all beings in the world. | |
― Lao Tzu | |
[I find the struggle to be “compassionate toward yourself” to be a lifetime objective. I guess that’s just the cowboy in me. — KMAB] | |

Although my mother didn’t know anything about science, she had a great influence on me as well. In particular, she had a wonderful sense of humor, and I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion. | |
