let it go
let it leave
let it happen
nothing
in this world
was promised or
belonged to you
anyway

all you own is yourself

Frodo: “Ich wünschte, ich hätte den Ring nie bekommen. Ich wünschte, all das wäre nie passiert.“
Gandalf: “Das tun alle, die solche Zeiten erleben. Aber es liegt nicht in ihrer Macht, das zu entscheiden. Du musst nur entscheiden, was du mit der Zeit anfangen willst, die dir gegeben ist.“

(Herr der Ringe)

„Monks and scholars,
just as you test gold by burning, cutting, and polishing it,
so too well examine my speech.
Do not accept it merely out of respect.“

– Buddha

We have a tendency to think in
terms of doing and not in terms
of being. We think that when
we are not doing anything,
we wasting our time.

But that ist not true
Our time is first of all
for us to be.

To be what? To be alive, to be peaceful,
to be joyful, to be loving. And that is
what the world needs most.

As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.
