- 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.

When my hands are empty, I can touch everything
but move nothing.
When my mind is empty, I can learn anything
but understand nothing.
When my pockets are empty, I can carry anything
but bring it nowhere.
I am rich when I hold
a hammer when nails should be driven.
I am rich when I know
the language of the person who speaks to me.
I am rich when I have exact change
for the bus that will take me home.

Nice. Thanks.

Money at family graves
So the departed
Will not starve on the other
Side – that’s what money is for!

Money defines poverty, so is not its opposite. The opposite of poverty is affluence. The opposite of money is gift since money only exists to neutralize trade between strangers.
"The way of heaven
reduces excess and fills need,
but the way of humans is not so:
they strip the needy
to serve those who have too much."
