The Secret to Life

The secret to life is

to die,

But before your last breath,

before your heart’s last beat.

And the secret to such death is

to live, as long as possible,

Humbly submitting to God’s will,

humbly letting the ways of self go.

No greater joy can be known than

to let break and let perish the

Habits beating in the heart and the

Mills turning circles in the mind.

*the daily denying of one’s will and ways,

and submitting to God’s
