A Zen Dominican?

I enjoy Nancy N.'s Just Thinking site and try to check in there regularly.    Today I found a prayer there by St Thomas Aquinas.  The first lines of it struck me as having a very Zen-like spirit --

Grant, Lord my God, that I may never fall away in success or in failure; that I may not be prideful in prosperity nor dejected in adversity. . . .

Definitely a middle path!
