At the center of our Being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion,

a point of pure Truth which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will.

This little point of nothingness and of absolute poverty is like a pure diamond,

blazing with the invisible Light of Heaven.

It is in everybody, and if we could see it, we would see these billions of points of light

coming together in the face and blaze of a sun

that would make all the darkness and cruelty of life vanish completely.

~Thomas Merton

missing the basics sometimes…

inquiry for today~ when is it ok to not know how?

worthy of love….

When the earth opens up under your feet,

be like a seed.

Fall down; wait for the rain.

~Alexander Chee
