Giving to all beings what they require, without claiming to be equitable;

Eternally performing good works, without claiming to be charitable;

Existing before the beginning, without claiming to be venerable;

Embracing and supporting the universe, without claiming to be powerful.

It is in You that I move.

~Xu You

~Helen Palmer, author of The Enneagram in Love and Work

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, and you must treat it as a powerful stranger, must ask permission to know it and be known.

Stand still. The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you.

~David Wagoner

To live content with small means,
to seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fashion,
to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich,
to study hard, think quietly,
talk gently, act frankly,
to listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages, with open heart,
to hear all cheerfully,
do all bravely,
await occasions,
hurry never---
in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.

~William Ellery Channing (1780-1842)
