Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.
If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes you are ready. -Tao Te Ching

Nice thought, especially about emptying the mind, who knows where that leads. Hopefully not towards welcoming death!
A very good post to find half way through a rotten Monday. Thank you.

Chickybabe- I always welcome Death, she always stands her round, and plays a mean game of chess. A bit obsessive about currys at times tho.
Mia- Always glad to help
