Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche...
We go on deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper, until we reach the point where there is no answer. There is not even a question. Both question and answer die simultaneously at some point. They begin to rub each other too closely, and they short-circuit each other in some way. At that point, we tend to give up hope of an answer, or of anything whatsoever, for that matter. We have no more hope, none whatsoever. We are purely hopeless. We could call this transcending hope, if you would like to put it in more genteel terms.
And...
This does not mean we end up as zombies. We still have all the energies; we have all the fascination of discovery, of seeing this process unfolding and unfolding and unfolding, going on and on. This process of discovery automatically recharges itself so that we keep going deeper and deeper and deeper. This process of going deeper and deeper is the process of crazy wisdom, ...
So, here, hope is unspeakable, calm and calming assurance, resting within, not a hope-so that takes us out of ourselves, but a knowing that is as intimate as we are to ourselves. So, really, we do not transcend hope, we transcend into hope.

The river flows, keeps flowing,
you give yourself to it, or not,
yet, it flows and flows...
our destiny
home
the river
to flow and flow
being the flow
flowing with the flow
river
you
everyone
