Enter Zen From There - great motto for life in general....if only they had that printed on a T-shirt somewhere ;) I especially enjoyed that parable because it immediately conjured up an image in my head of Mr. Myagi and a slightly more annoying version of Ash Ketchum from Pokemon.
Definitely, Enter Zen From There would have been a great way to calm yourself down on that flight but I totally understood - I used to be uncomfortable too flying when I was much younger but now that my job requires me to travel almost every week, I've gotten so used to it that I can usually last the entire flight by simply muttering "Serenity Now"....
