From nothing, everything . . .

It's Tew's day … and we return to our labors. The mailbox this morning is filled with philosophy . . .

The moment I stop ‘taking for granted,’ there is no end to the surprises I find. – Br. David Steindl-Rast.

At the very moment at which philosophy says you can't directly access the real, humans are drilling down deeper into it. – Timothy Morton, cited by Sophie Strand in The Flowering Wand. For a good synopsis and reviews, check out Waterstone.

Our world view has become Narcissus' mirror. – Sophie Strand.

If you’re doing it right, presence, rather than detaching you, sensitizes you to your environment. It puts you smack-dab in the discomfort . . .where you can grow more skilled at meeting life where it’s at, rather than how you’d prefer it to be. – Rob Brezsney

Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the Mystery. – Ram Dass

– from The Book of Hours

We see the brightness of a new page

where everything yet can happen.

Unmoved by us, the fates take its measure

and look at one another, saying nothing. – Rilke

Yin is the mother of the 10,000 things:

Yang creates

from nothing.
