An Inordinately Buddhist Digression

I guess faith is surrendering everything to nothing, expecting nothing.

I used to expect respect, dignity, love and success, but I'm a lot better off now that I expect nothing.

I guess compassion is seeing myself all broken up and mourning the broken parts of me in you.

Trying to fix you isn't compassion.

Seeing us both as broken pieces of the same nothingness, expecting nothing from you, accepting nothing in our brokenness.

With no expectations and nothing left to surrender or lose, I accept everything as it is and everyone as they are.

What more is there? Nothing.
