Excellent Advice for Living
Kevin Kelly
Nevertheless, having had at least a few upheavals in my sense of reality by now, I wonder why I’m still as prone as I am to unease, still a bit dysthymic, and I can’t honestly say that every day is a good day. Often, in fact, I think just the opposite. Sometimes I’ll catch myself thinking not just that a day is anything but good but that it’s positively bad, even that a whole week is bad, even a month. Even a year. Yet I’m a moderately “advanced” Zen student.
One Blade of Grass

This is the fourth remembrance: “Breathing in, I know that one day I will have to let go of everything and everyone I love. Breathing out, there is no way to bring them along.” Everything that I cherish today I will have to leave behind tomorrow, whether it is my house, my bank account, my children, or my beautiful partner. Everything that I cherish today, I will have to abandon. I cannot carry anything with me when I die. This is a scientific truth.
