X-WR-CALDESC:<i>The eleventh step of humility is that we speak gently and w
 ithout laughter\, seriously and with becoming modesty\, briefly and reason
 ably\, but without raising our voices\, as it is written: 'The wise are kn
 own by few words.'</i>\n\nHumility\, Benedict teaches\, treads tenderly up
 on the life around it. When we know our place in the universe\, we can aff
 ord to value the place of others. We need them\, in fact\, to make up what
  is wanting in us. We stand in the face of others without having to take u
 p all the space. We don't have to dominate conversations or consume all th
 e time or call all the attention to ourselves. There is room\, humility kn
 ows\, for all of us in life. We are each an ember of the mind of God and w
 e are each sent to illumine the other through the dark places of life to s
 anctuaries of truth and peace where God can be God for us because we have 
 relieved ourselves of the ordeal of being god ourselves. We can simply unf
 old ourselves and become.\n\nThe Tao teaches:\n'The best people are like w
 ater\nThey benefit all things\,\nAnd do not compete with them.\nThey settl
 e in low places\,\nOne with nature\, one with Tao.'\n\n'Settling in low pl
 aces\,' being gentle with others and soft in our comments and kind in our 
 hearts and calm in our responses\, never heckling\, never smothering the o

 the world might well afford to revisit.
