25. The Closing of the Tenets

The Tenets

(147) These ten lights will not illuminate every corner of every situation you will face.

They will leave shadows. They will sometimes flicker. They will sometimes seem too dim for the darkness you are in.

When that happens, return to the simplest version of each:

Be truthful. Be careful with what you're given. Respect others' freedom. Let yourself be seen. Take only what you need. Be kind. Own your mistakes. Give back. Be whole. Stay humble.
