This opening statement is good advice for meditation and contemplative practice, really.

"Sometimes we feel like we have to grab it and do something with it
And we have to make something of it or control it
As if it were a lump of a clay
But then, there's another way of looking at it which is
Life is like a wave that we catch
1
Life is ready to happen and to unfold
And we're just a vessel
We're like a ring or something and it happens through us
Life happens through us
We don't do life, we don't choose life
Life does us"
