Be soft.

Be soft so that your mind doesn't clash with reality and you can absorb your experience with ease.

Be soft so that disappointments and insults don't bruise you but bounce harmlessly away after your softness has absorbed their force.

Be soft so that thoughts don't turn into fixed ideas and emotions flow through you without attaching themselves and animosity doesn't linger long enough to form a grudge and pain passes away before turning into trauma.

Be soft so that you can bend with the wind without breaking and become moist with the rain without flooding.

Be soft so that you pass through the world without leaving damage,

Owning the lightest of trails that will dissolve like a cloud and become part of the air that everyone breathes.
