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!
