I've heard humility defined as, "Suspending judgment to allow what is, to arise." How natural it is for the farmer to be humble, how difficult for us, with our multiplicity of wants, needs, desires, and views. Remembering personal history, and how often things which seemed like victories came with barbs and traps, while that which often felt like defeat was actually a gateway to brighter vistas is of great help to me in staying balanced with the present moment.
