expect nothing.
receive what comes to you,
take all that it offers,
give back only what you have and nothing more.
plant no flag.
stake no claim.
rename nothing,
but burn no bridge.
injure no one and take no offense.
simply tip your hat to all that unveiled itself in your presence,
wait for no one,
and keep moving.
always going, always gone.
