I was reading a book I have called Teachings Of The Buddha Edited by Jack Kornfield with Gil Fronsdal
I was reading a saying from the book and it reminded me of MJ.
Few cross over the river.
Most are stranded on this side.
On the riverbank they run up and
down.
But the wise person, following the
way,
Crosses over, beyond the reach of
death.
Free from desire,
Free from possessions,
Free from attachment and appetite,
Following the seven lights of
awakening,
And rejoicing greatly in his freedom,
In this world the wise person
Becomes themself a light,
Pure, shining, free.
(adapted from the Dhammapada,
translated by Thomas Byrom)
