#3)
hold onto what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
hold onto what you believe even it is a tree which stands by itself.
hold onto what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
hold onto life even when it is easier letting go.
hold onto my hand even when i have gone away from you

#4)
i know not where i'm from, or where i am in relation to any place, for i just am..
i have no physical body, no voice that can be heard, no memories that exist to prove my "being".
an attempted existence derived from a pondering mind. so great the power, the knowledge of a passing thought which gave birth and first breath to my enlightened state of being. immortal in thought and form, but all the same insuperior to any rational idea of evolution that one can become a part of in your reality. a single breathe, a passing thought is what i have become...as is my desire
