nothing to protect
surrender again

The path of emptiness
Let go of suffering – what are you to do with it?
Let go of joy – what are you to do with it?
For you will not lose what you think you will lose
and you will not gain what you think you will gain

The eating prayer
Stopping at sated,
the bite before full:
Letting you, O Lord, fill to true completion
