329. Handling Cash

When you start to do business with banks, make sure that you do not get into regular habits of lodging money that can be readily identified by criminals. Do not set up patterns that can be observed. Do not go at the same time each day, or the same day each week. Never use the same branch twice in a row. Never carry the cash for lodgment outside your clothing. Do not be obvious. Do not let people know what you are doing.

264. The Wonder of the Ordinary

Dan Millman once said "There are no ordinary moments." Always value the wonder of the ordinary - to see the world in a grain of sand. Work on letting go. Hack away the inessential to reveal the Truth. Proper cultivation runs to simplicity while half-way cultivation runs to ornamentation. Study the arts of Ikebana - Japanese flower arranging and Bonsai to help with this practice.

Do not strain yourself (distort yourself) by twisting to conform to someone else's pre-conceived pattern.
