I don’t know what it all is, but day by day I learn more and more what it is not.

It is not material, or accomplishment, not the acquisition of morality, concentration,

or knowledge.

It is not intellectual or found in answers, or the world of facts.

It is emotional, but our emotions are impermanent, and not trustworthy, and they

always involve risk.

It is not about gaining, but surrender.

It is not about religion, religions are other peoples stories, and we all have our own.

It is magical, but we must never follow anyone else’s magic, we must create our own.

In doing so we will confront our own insanity, and we will learn acceptance.

We must expose ourselves on the altar of life and allow ourselves to be carried by an

ambivalent universe toward an unknown God.
