I am starting with a new job, in a new country with a new approach.I ask myself what my security blankets are....nothing appears

Knowledge is certain; the search for personal knowing is very, very hazardous. Nobody can guarantee it. If you ask me if I can guarantee anything, I say I cannot guarantee myself anything. I can only guarantee danger, that much is certain. I can only guarantee myself a long adventure with every possibility of losing and never reaching the goal. But one thing is certain: the very search will help me to grow.

I can guarantee only growth. Danger will be there, sacrifice will be there; I will be moving every day into the unknown, into the uncharted, and there will be no map to follow, no guide to follow.

Yes, there are millions of dangers and I can go astray and I can get lost, but that is the only way one grows. Insecurity is the only way to grow, to face danger is the only way to grow, to accept the challenge of the unknown is the only way to grow.

These tenses--past, present and future--are not the tenses of time; they are tenses of the mind. That which is no longer before the mind becomes the past. That which is before the mind is the present. And that which is going to be before the mind is the future.

Past is that which is no longer before you. Future is that which is not yet before you. And present is that which is before you and is slipping out of your sight. What is gone is gone!

And don't cling to the present because that is also going and soon it will be past. Don't cling to the future--hopes, imaginations, plans for tomorrow--because tomorrow will become today, will become yesterday.

Everything is going to become yesterday. Everything is going to go out of your hands. Clinging will simply create misery.I will have to let go.I am starting afresh.....just experiencing each moment for what it is and what I percieve it be....
