You didn’t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.

We suffer from the delusion that the entire universe is held in order by the categories of human thought, fearing that if we do not hold to them with the utmost tenacity, everything will vanish into chaos.

Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.

Alan Watts

[funeral]

Wherever people may feel that the ego is located, and however much, or little, of the physical body is identified with it, almost all agree that "I" am not anything outside my skin ... The skin is always considered as a wall, barrier, or boundary which definitively separates oneself from the world—despite the fact that it is covered with pores breathing air and with nerve-ends relaying information. The skin informs us just as much as it outforms; it is as much a bridge as a barrier.

Let the universe take over a bit, relax and let it do its thing. Some times you just have to let go and Trust the universe.
