"In the end I grew away from the troubles of separative being. After the
years of rebellion, condemnation, struggle, and turmoil, I finished with the
process by which I would finally melt away like a dwindling chunk of ice
which had been smashing about down the river after the break-up, only to
then merge peacefully into the warm and gentle flow, losing itself into the
whole; I dissolved into the careless realm, and became the calm and yet
resolute river myself, carrying all things along with me on the voyage to
the endless sea. For I found that nothing ends, that there is no end,
though the mind seeks completion in all things. We go on forever, and this
is the problem, for our eternity rends the walls of all our
paradigms; it is an understanding which we try so hard to avoid because it
brings no alleviation to the way in which we require goals and
accomplishments so as to position ourselves in the fluid complexity. Yet it
brought me to that type of peace which comes from not needing to partake of
everything all at once, from not desiring to attain what I did not have,
from not needing to be something, or become something else, because there is
no need to rush about in eternity, for everything will happen, like it or
not, and it will not cease, and when you know this about the world and
yourself you begin to require less, and do less, and you sort of ease back,
not out of fulfillment, but out of knowing that the all keeps going, no
matter what, and therefore the little matters begin to fade away, and only
what is eternal remains, calm in the acquiescent acknowledgment that nothing
is ever gained nor lost, and the passing show will flicker and fade, as it
is wont to do, and the grief and glory will come and go with it, but the
Self shall continue forward, softly watching from the other side of dying."
