wisdom of the ages

The seminary sisters had an assignment to interview some of the sisters in the retirement residence about their lives in community. We had a nice chat at their "coffee break" about challenges they faced, how things had changed over the years and the "mystery" of vocation. As we were getting ready to wrap-up one of the seminary sisters asked the final question,
"Do you have any words of wisdom about how to acheive balance in community life?"
Sr. Charlie, who had not spoken much perked up and answered~
"walk close to the wall."
