The Master gives himself up
to whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and he has nothing left to hold on to;
No illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn’t think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day’s work.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Here in West Virginia, I get to wake up to your new post every morning. Thank you for the daily inspiration.
Hi Jennifer, It is nice to hear from the different places in the world that the blog is read and always inspires me to hear from people who get something from the posts and who are striving to live a more conscious life. Have never been to West Virginia but I am sure that it is a lovely part of the world, Karl
It looks very different from Ireland, but is very green and beautiful this time of year. Yes, it is nice to connect with people from all over the world. Thanks again for adding joy to my mornings.
“… he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day’s work.”
Yet without longing
Or even wishing.
