A lot of people are going to try to waste your time with nonsense.
But you stay laser-focused on that which gives any meaning to this thing we call life.
It’s not about niceties and formalities. It’s not about social obligations or familial duties. None of this matters. None of this has any meaning.
What does matter is the integrity with which you’ve lived. How hard you tried to live in Love. How hard you tried to overcome your own obstacles to Love.
And it might not look the way you expected it too. It might not be agreeable to others. But it doesn’t matter.
All the stuff that pretends to matter doesn’t matter in the end.
Not one iota.
So what does matter?
What matters is inexplicable.
It’s knowing everything that doesn’t matter. And not getting lost in it.
The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.
Rumi
It’s a devotion to all the little things.
The way your Dad’s hands look when they’re laying on his lap.
The sigh and the breath of relief when we stop talking.
It’s the catching of the glimpse of Truth in the eyes of another.
Everything else and I mean everything can be cut and thrashed with the laser-focus samurai sword of Truth.
