Have No Expectations

     It’s a lot to ask, I'll admit, to put a limit on expectations. Expectations are the source of unnecessary suffering. Not having attachment to the outcome frees us to be a clear observer of what is.


Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

- R. Buckminister Fuller

The Second Five Practices

     There are actually seven of them and it makes better reading if you keep it listed to five I think. I set them out here so that I don’t forget what I need to write:

     Have No Expectations
     Look to See, Listen to Hear, Be.
     Pointing to Myself
     Bow to How Life Is
     On Automatic
     Design Your Day
     Doing It for Whom?

     I plan to write more on each as we go along.
