“Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise.” – Benjamin Franklin

 

I would add:

 

“Be neither silly, nor cunning, nor reactionary, but wise.”

 

 

The first reactionary response is often terribly damaging.  When stirred, give yourself the time to settle back into yourself before you act.

    That was yesterday, fortunately I took heed and took a break from packing, left the house and got some fresh air raking leaves before the snow flies this week. Intuition can be a good thing, as healthy 2nd response, even if unspoken.
