You fear nothing, not love nor loss of love, not
emotions nor loss of emotions, not life nor the loss of
life. All phenomena come and go and you welcome
them with joy and see them pass with joy. You are
free, but not like Ramana in a peaceful withdrawal,
but free even while fully embracing ordinary life, just
as Maezumi told my class by throwing his arms open
and exposing his heart, just breathing is joy, is Zen; is
life!
