The nature of everything is expansion.
The tree's branches, water's ripples, the cosmos.
Look at the nature of everything and you will see
your own nature.
Life is expansion - to grow, to reach out, to be open.
Fear is life suffocated, snuffed.
Fear compels you to stockpile money, goods, achievements, friends,
even spirituality, building them up like brick walls.
A prison has maximum security, and shackles set your place.
Freedom is not stomping your feet
and shouting you are here.
Freedom is the innate knowing that you belong.
It is a surrender into the depths of the unknown
so that you dissolve and become the unkown.
How can one be afraid of anything if you accept that everything
including you are unknowable?
