I strive toward my vision,
while accepting gratefully whatever life serves up.

which is based on my value system of what is right,
just, noble, compassionate, generous, humane, peaceful, and loving.
Simultaneously, I accept that my vision
is based on only my opinions and prejudices,
and I honor all points of view and value systems,
no matter how different from my own.

petty complaints, and idle chatter.
About those, I just don't care.

and will be able to respond. Remember...

Every compassionate act makes large the world.
