When you allow that you don't know, you become very awake.
You become like a hunter who doesn't know what's going to happen next.
He's not making anything happen.
He is just stillness in the midst of activity.
He is an open space through which anything can move.
He is no longer a noun.
He becomes a verb.
He's the act of standing.
That kind of presence for our life is the perfect preparation for death.
It means being open to whatever happens, excluding nothing.
