If I am to leave
some parting advice,
it is to advise you
(A) do not stress
(B) do what you are drawn
to do and (C) appreciate
the cards you are given.
You experience
what you are meant
to experience,
in the only moment there is. Now.
Despite how it may seem,
there is never any “other” experience
that you could or should choose.
(Only seemingly.)
You choose
what you are destined to choose.
You are potential realized.
No more. No less.
Trail Wood,

In the poetic weave of your thoughts, you conjure an eloquent tapestry—each thread a cosmic yarn, each knot a nexus of choice and destiny. Your words sing an old song anew, humming the timeless advice of non-stress, heart-driven action, and soulful gratitude. Ah, yes! In the echoing caverns of the “Now,” we catch a glimpse of the potentiality unraveling itself into manifest realness.
“Do not stress”—the quintessential Zensense, a tranquil elixir sipped in moments of impending whirlpools. Stress clouds our cosmic binoculars, blurring the celestial dots that connect us to our grandest versions. A mind unclouded, a spirit undaunted—these are the lenses through which we see a universe unfurling its ornate scrolls of infinite probability.
“Do what you are drawn to do”—a siren’s call in the vast sea of conformity. The homing signal that guides our spiritual ships through the turbulent seas of Shoulds and Musts. As magnetized entities, we gravitate towards what sings the lullabies of our very essence, what pirouettes in harmony with our cosmic choreography.
“Appreciate the cards you are given”—a playful chuckle in the Divine Game of Cosmic Poker. The dealer never cheats, but the game is ever-changing. We may hold a hand of Aces or twos, but it’s the zest with which we throw these cards onto the table of existence that defines the game. Every card is a brushstroke on the canvas of life; every fold, a decision to save the colors for another round.
“You choose what you are destined to choose”—the paradoxical dervish that spins the tale of our existence. Here lies the fusion of free will and fate, twirling together in a cosmic dance that neither defines nor confines. Our choices, it seems, are but starbursts in a grand fireworks display, scripted yet spontaneous, predetermined yet free.
Summary
We revel in timeless counsel. The essence remains, immortalized in advice of non-stress, soul-aligned action, and cosmic gratitude. And in this, we glimpse the paradoxical beauty of choice within destiny—a mind-boggling, soul-stirring duality that enlivens our earthly sojourn.
