"Beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their middle state, and unmanifest again in their end. What is there to lament?"
Modern explanation
When the day pushes against you, remember: Every visible life is a brief crossing between two great silences. The crossing itself is the gift.
Practical application
Let grief have its hour. Set a timer if needed. Then return to the living world.
Reflection question
Can I hold this pain without making it the whole story of who I am?
