Lost in thought, and drifting away...

ms jenny tan passed away on saturday.. my primary school teacher.. nose cancer..
sad.. this 2nd time heard sad news after woodsville primary became a no more..

What sort of illness awaits us tonight, what sort of death tomorrow?

Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is.
In the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today.
To wait until tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly.
How can we bargain with it?
The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day,
'one who knows the better way to live alone.'

...try again or walk away...
