“‘It’s dark because you’re trying too hard,’ said Susila. ‘Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. “Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.” I was so preposterously serious in those days. … Lightly, lightly—it was the best advice ever given me. … So throw away all your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.’”

I read this passage in Tim’s newsletter.
It made me think.
Light here means having the ability to float,to be antifragile,to survive by being like water on a ducks back.

Because too much can suck you down.It can get overwhelming .
Too little makes no difference
But lightly has light in it.
Even if its a ray through a crack in the window,it lights up the room.

Be that light.
