Wow, I think I’m leaving Mongolia soon and it’s amazing how happy it makes me to think about what lies ahead even though I don’t really know what lies ahead. Does that make any sense? The days I am counting. I feel free within the bounds of reality.

Recent developments have prompted change that has been waiting for expedition. I’d love to include details but they remain elusive. Only in darkness does the universe stand out in brilliance. In time, all will reveal itself. Before the next moment we are in the now. What a relief, that power of now.

“Don’t seek and don’t expect. Be patient. Your mud will settle. Your water will be clear. Don’t cling to comfort and everything will be comfortable. Failure is an opportunity. Demand nothing and give all. Rush ahead and you won’t go far. Try to define yourself, you won’t know who you are. Don’t try to control others. Let them go and let them be. Fix your problems by forgetting their problems. Deal with them and the world and yourself with patience and simplicity and compassion. Let things be, let yourself be, let everything be and accept it as it is. Nothing more, nothing less.”
