"The Master gives themself up to whatever the moment brings. They know they are going to die, and they have nothing left to hold onto: no illusions in their mind, no resistances in their body. They don't think about their actions; they flow from the core of their being. They hold nothing back from life; therefore they are ready for death, as a human is ready for sleep after a good day's work." My fave Tao Te Ching quote, Verse 50. [adapted for gender inclusivity]

I'll always be grateful for Time's ability to soften and clarify. Memory does its part, remembering only the pillars, and doing its daily purging of the in-betweens.
Time solves the "unsolvable", and evolves the "unevolvable". So, I'm reminded to act on the Knowns, and patiently sit while the folded unfolds.
Ancient friends, Shore and Ocean, wearing their stories. Ocean teaches Shore to let go of who they believe they are. Shore helps Ocean learn form and structure.
Time will continue to play its games with my grasping mind. 40 years or 1 month -- it's all the same: shadows left behind, dancing themselves into new shapes in my memory.
Back in NYC today for the next week πΊππ½π·
