In being what we seek,
we discover that we have always
had what we need
to meet the moment straight up
and do there what is called for
and is appropriate to the occasion.

The way is clear until someone 
with a better idea comes along,
and then there is tension and struggle,
and we are generally unable
to determine whose way is the right way.

"Those who know best and must be pleased"
will not be interested in turning to the silence
and waiting for the guidance that comes from within.
They already know what is best,
so what's to wait for?

The bosses must be boss,
and therein lies the problem.
If we can delay any action long enough,
circumstances may take care of themselves,
but if we have to make those who know best happy,
a happy ending is in serious jeopardy.

The quest of the people for quick fixes 
and fast solutions gets us where we are.
Waiting things out
and seeing what happens
at least has the advantage 
of having the time to change our minds
about what needs to be done,
and that is often all that needs to be done!

See how slow you can go,
particularly when others are pushing
for action and answers immediately.
Be the sea anchor.
Take your time.
Change your mind if necessary,
and change it again if that helps.
See if the situation can resolve itself.
