Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even.
No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self conscious persona putting on its
celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered.
–Aldous Huxley
And, at the same time, know what it is not to be.
That emptiness inside you allows you to vibrate in resonance with your world.
Use it for once.
and to the vast unsayable numbers of beings abounding in Nature,
add yourself gladly, and cancel the cost.
–Rainer Maria Rilke

Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even.
Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self conscious persona putting on its
celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered.
–Aldous Huxley
