Thought for the Day

[. . .] The practice of letting go and embracing simplicity is one way

we prepare ourselves for what is to come. One day we all will have

to let go of everything — even our own breath. It will be a day 

of utter simplicity — a day when the importance of stuff fades.

Learning to live simply prepares us for our last breath while

cultivating in us the freedom to truly live here and now. [. . .]
