Inspiration

BioSattva got me thinking when he posted about how the phrase "doing it right is accepting doing it wrong" helped him remain mindful.
I started to wonder. What phrase or line of poetry would I choose if, say, I was making a plaque for my bedroom wall or a sign to prop up on my desk? Or even if I was choosing a tattoo. Something that would remind me to be mindful whenever I glanced at it.
I considered the following:
"Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself."
"Flow with whatever may happen."
"Where we are is where we need to be."
"See the thoughts and let them go."
"May it be all as it is."
"Between no longer and not yet."
"Become the flow."
"Let things be as they are."
After some internal debate I went for the phrase that spoke to me most clearly and most succinctly.
"Just this."
Your suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks, Jon
