The first awareness is to clear out spaces for the divine.
The second awareness is to accept the unchangeable.
The third awareness is to discover we are all divine.

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.

“The right of women to veil or not to veil is not in question; indeed, is not the question. The question is whether or not any practice is transparently founded on choice or imposition. The veil, even beyond its function as a physical act of separation, is a metaphor much else that is actual, some of which involves consequences predicated on freedom and slavery, life and death, and thus impinges on the province of human volition and dignity. We are living in a world, sections of which, unfortunately, take pride in perpetuating traditions of sectarian control, marginalization and dehumanization made possible only through the denial of choice to their citizens; where members of that ‘lower constituency’ are harassed, publically lashed, imprisoned, stoned to death – sometimes for showing an inch or two of flesh beyond the eye slits graciously permitted for the practical purposes of navigation.”

Ooh, sort of like Kmart -- Buy 1, get two free.
How are they ever going to stay in business running specials like that?
