Tributes to Godwin
Death is the most certain thing in life,
but unfortunately we forget the most certain thing in life
and get involved in other things that are uncertain.
But if you can be with this most certain thing in life,
then when we encounter it, either in ourselves or in others
it doesn't affect us in the same way.
- Godwin speaking in Hong Kong, 1998
