to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.

Trust in the Light.
Darkness is not a force -
it is merely the absence of light.
Observe that when a light is brought to a dark place,
the darkness disappears.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
