My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Giving Is The Getting
It is not that you give up everything and then start receiving and continue to receive until to have gotten your hundredfold. There is no getting some and then getting more, but rather the giving is the getting. The giving away is the receiving. It is the whole thing. No need to worry what to do with the hundredfold. It is right there. Grab hold of the nothingness. It is the entire thing.
