We cannot hold onto anything. 
We must let go of everything.

Jesus, the Buddha, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr,
and all those like them through the ages
were able to give themselves wholeheartedly to their vision
because nothing was more important to them
than their vision.

We are here to give ourselves to the service
of what is called for
in each situation as it arises
with nothing in it for us
beyond the joy of doing it
and the satisfaction of having done it.

We aren't out for anything.
We aren't striving to gain anything.

We are here simply to do what needs to be done.
To do what must be done.
In the time left for living.

So what if nothing comes of it?

So what if Trump wins the day
and the champions of indoctrination
control the minds of 98% of the people worldwide?

That leaves 2% free to do the work
that is ours to do!
I love a challenge, don't you?

We take refuge in emptiness/stillness/silence
(One thing, not three),
and live from there
in the service of what is called for
in each situation as it arises--
to exhibit and express our original nature,
our innate virtues
(What we do best and enjoy doing most),
and our intrinsic intuition--
for as long as life lasts!

It is the way.
Always has been.
Always will be.
World without end.
