Four Rules For Life

Show up.

Pay attention.

Tell the truth.

Don’t be attached to the results.

Angeles Arrien, 1940 – April 24, 2014

No road

Walker, your footsteps 

are the road, and nothing more.

Walker, there is no road, the road is made by walking.

Walking you make the road,

and turning to look behind 

you see the path you never 

again will step upon.

 

Walker, there is no road, 

only foam trails on the sea.

As we go along

You cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To “have” running water you must let go of it and let it run.
