One of the great teachings of Buddhism that has guided my life is that we should desire many things but require nothing. It gives me great peace.
I desire to sleep atop the Great Pyramid in Egypt and watch the sun rise, like a man I met in Washington, D. C. once told me he did; however, I am content to never seeking a passport to accomplish the trip in order to respect my life committed to Truth. No man has the right to tell me I must be numbered to travel.
I would love to take my paints and place Lake Powell on canvas before I die, but I am content to sit in a jail cell should conscience require.
