 Todd,
 Your quote of the week is very well taken, and brings to mind the 
            common saying:
 "Don't just sit there, do something!"
 Those who practice insight meditation sometimes display a bumper sticker 
            saying:
 "Don't just do something, sit there!"
 The meaning of this bumper sticker of course is that one should sit 
            there until she develops the insight that can sustain wise action.
 Best to all,
