I had something else planned for today, but between being sick (again? still? I have no idea), and long hours, I’m going to leave it to others:

To truly master the Way
we must pass through all life’s hellish cycles;
at last, we reach the higher heights.
Only three things necessary for paradise after all:
endurance, alertness,
and a righteous heart.

from The Book of the Heart by Loy Ching-Yuen
