This added stress has been a good reminder for me that commitment and effort do not guarantee results. There are always factors beyond my control. When I think about it, It does not take much for things to go wrong and most of us are only a couple of simultaneous catastrophes away from homelessness. Somber thought indeed.

There is a quote that goes something like this: "Life can be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it is not changed, it must be accepted."
So true, a reminder for our family was last night as we helped serve dinner at the Mustard Seed. Very humbling...the thing was, I didn't feel a bit better than those which I served, just in the right place at the right time. It was weird! As you said Sifu, "one or two steps away".
