Mark 13-14, Psalms 130-131

My heart is not proud, Lord,
   my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
   or things too wonderful for me.
But I have calmed and quieted myself,
   I am like a weaned child with its mother;
   like a weaned child I am content. (Psalm 131:1-2)

Humility: I'm not sure I've yielded to the virtue of humility, letting go of pride, looking up instead of down, or choosing interests other than interest in the lifestyles of the rich and famous. I'm working on it, practicing mindfulness, embracing the peace beyond understanding that God gives, diving into solitude, and just being.

Meditating on Psalm 131 helps.
