After one arrives at the summit, after going through the total transformation of being. . . there is yet one more step to the completion of that journey: the return to the valley below, to the everyday world. Who it is that returns is not who began the climb in the first place. The being that comes back is quietness itself, is compassion and wisdom, is the truth of the ages.

Very humble work, that is where you and I must be. For there are many people who can do big things. But there are very few people who will do the small things.
