There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.
The world is a mountain, in which your words are echoed back to you.
When water gets caught in habitual whirlpools, dig a way out through the bottom of the ocean.
The rule that covers everything is: how you are with others, expect that back.
Humble living does not diminish. It fills. Going back to a simpler self gives wisdom.
Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else.
