Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.

not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho
