I don't know what this is from, I just found it written down. Actually, I wrote it down in 1997 and didn't write who said it. "Patience (Kshama), the ability to assume the witnessing consciousness and allow things to unfold as they will." "Contentment is a virtue praised by sages around the world ... explained as not coveting more than what is at hand. Contentment is thus a virtue diametrically opposed to our modern consumer mentality which is driven by the need to acquire ever more to fill the vacuum within." Maybe it was Joel Goldsmith?
