Is the sky ever empty?
Is the ocean ever still?
Why should I expect
my mind to be any different?

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Expecting it, certainly will not make it so.
But making it so, will.
Tell that to my mind...
And even when we're certain our mind is still, we're identifying it as still, so...it isn't... :) The practice, perhaps, is to be as still in our thought as is humanly possible...And to be still seems to be about stilling all judgement.
I want to witness the beauty of the world. How can a spiritual purpose or practice be found in emptiness? It seems oxymoronic, yet we keep hearing about it as though it's the ultimate.
Thank you for a very provocative thought. :)
