The time has come to close this chapter of my life. 5 years ago, a journey was started. Today, on the 8th of December of 2024, on Rohatsu, the day of the enlightenment of the Buddha, it ends. It wasn’t clear to me before, and I suppose it never could have been. But the texture was already there, and for the last few years it has been flowering out into expression in the form of this right here. These texts document a beautiful journey I was unaware of undertaking. Now, it will leave place for something else. There is not much more to say than that which already has been, countless times. There is no key, no secret, no mystery, hiding within these words. There is just this, here, now. For what can only be described as eons, I have been searching. Physically, mentally; body, mind; traveling, researching. But as I look back on it all, there is nothing really that I can claim to have gained. In the end, from the very beginning, I always knew. I just did not trust, did not dare to believe, this very fact. So if there is anything at all, there is that. Trust. This right here, that which is, that is. Gassho!
