Via Daily Dharma: The Wonder of Not Knowing
The
fact that we don’t know—that nothing is certain and we therefore can’t
hold on to anything—can evoke fear and depression, but it can also evoke
a sense of wonder, curiosity, and freedom. Some of our best moments
come when we haven’t yet decided what will happen next.

Surrender who you think you are and what you think you are doing into
what is. It is mind boggling to think that spirituality is dying into
yourself.
