Our mission is to 
meet each situation as it arises 
from the circumstances that give it birth 
with the gifts of our original nature 
and the innate characteristics/virtues 
stored in our DNA 
in light of what's what 
and what needs to be done in response--
and to let that be that,
because the next situation is on the way.

We can only do this from the standpoint
of emptiness/stillness/silence.

Anything that disturbs the natural flow of life--
the spontaneous give and take
that is essential to our response-ability
and to our ability to dance with the music
of the moment--
disrupts our focus
and leads us away from the path
into the wasteland of 
noise/complexity/drama/trauma,
necessitating our return 
to emptiness/stillness/silence
where we realign ourselves with the Tao,
merge again with the flow of life
and live at one with the time and place,
the here/now,
of the present situation
as it arises
from the circumstances 
that give it birth.
