Mueller, Requiem, 2013
Instead of conditioning the next moment with troubled
thoughts, you surrender your investment in them; now the next moment is open,
untroubled, and free. There is no need to judge the world around you; you
simply allow it to be what it is. If the situation calls for a response
from you, fine; you respond, not from defensiveness or judgment, but from the
natural ease of your presence. In the quiet mystery of surrendering your
thoughts, you have released any fixity of belief or position-taking, and you
are welcomed by openness, quiet, and a most subtle joy - a lightness of
being. In surrendering something of no real value, you have gained the
world. In the openness of unknowing, you are completely safe and
innocent.
