Become a Tree

And then you go on. . . but it is no better.  Sometimes, it is worse.

But you go on.

What do we dare hope?

What was it that the Buddha said about hope?  Maybe he didn't say anything about hope, but somehow I feel he did.  It is surely linked to desire and we all know what he said about desire.

Become a tree.  Become a rock.

Right.
