Hold it lightly.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The knowledge.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The opinions.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The meaning.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The suffering.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The person.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Because everything changes.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The ideas, the views, the concepts, the plans.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And you might need them for a while, they will serve a purpose, but freshness and newness will flush it all away again.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Cherish your principles (or Principles), but don\u2019t think they confine or define you in any way.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Love your preferences and your intellectual constructs, but don\u2019t try to build on them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hold it lightly, everything.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The kisses, the curses, the flowers, the Ferrari.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Don\u2019t grasp, don\u2019t cling.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s all fleeting.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Here today, gone tomorrow.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hold it, hold it gently, carefully, deeply, sweetly.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But lightly.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
