Only with empty hand, empty mind, empty heart

[Guest guest]

Before you cross the threshold into dreamless

sleep, absolutely everything in the world that you

hold near and dear will have to be surrendered

and left behind.

 

You can only enter that empty kingdom with

empty hands, empty mind and an empty heart.

 

If you're coming with anything in your hands,

mind or heart, you're required to wait at the

threshold until you finally put it down.

 

Even the in waking world, surrendering fully to

how life really is also requires that, sometimes,

you sit quietly in the middle of your mess and

in the core of your chaos…and just wait.

 

Wait…with no expectations.

 

Wait…in your own emptiness.
