"Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. When we don’t see the self as self, what do we have to fear?"

"

One day, whether you
are 14,
28
or 65

you will stumble upon
someone who will start
a fire in you that cannot die.

However, the saddest,
most awful truth
you will ever come to find––
is they are not always
with whom we spend our lives.

"
