“It’s
dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly
child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes,
feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just
lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I
was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly,
lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When
it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No
rhetoric, no tremolos,
no
self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little
Nell.
And
of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just
the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So
throw away your baggage and go forward.
There
are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying
to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s
why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly
my darling,
on
tiptoes and no luggage,
not
even a sponge bag,
completely
unencumbered.”
―
Aldous Huxley , Island
“If
you have a strong purpose in life, you don't have to be pushed. Your passion
