Finishing wholeheartedly, so every ending becomes a celebration of growth.
This gate finishes things. It carries cycles to their natural end so the harvest can be gathered. Its shadow is expectation, contaminating endings with demands. Its gift is detachment: full participation, open hands, endings allowed to be complete.
The practice is to close your circles: conversations, projects, grievances. Unfinished business leaks vitality. Whatever ends fully releases its meaning like a ripe seedpod. Life measured this way accumulates gratitude rather than residue, and every ending becomes celebration.
