Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in His bosom. ~ St. Francis de Sales

Which of your character defects
are addressed in these forty-four words?
For me they start with worrying
rather than starting, doing.
They continue with anxiety
rather than tranquility,
with angst rather than trust
doubt rather than faith
and self-reliance rather than surrender
to a Power Who can
when agitation and panic are all I can manage.
