There's supposed to be a post before this about my leaving San Diego. I have put it on hold for a while. In the meantime, I came across this excerpt from Byron Katie.
"What I know about dying is that when there's no escape, [and] when you know that no one is coming to save you, there's no fear...
"People who know that there's no hope are free; decisions are out of their hands. It has always been that way, but some people have to die bodily to find out. No wonder they smile on their deathbeds. Dying is everything they were looking for in life: they've given up the delusion of being in charge. When there's no choice, there's no fear. They begin to realize that nothing was ever born but a dream and nothing ever dies but a dream."
-Byron Katie, "A Thousand Names for Joy."
