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.

I just ran across this quote from Thomas a Kempis: "The Lord bestows his blessings where he finds the vessel empty." And of course the Suzuki Roshi quote: "In the beginner's mind are many possibilities. In the expert's mind are few."
I believe, now, that when we become empty then the ray of Light/Life is un-refracted by our memories, histories, desires or ego. Make sense?
I love that image of unrefracted light, CD!
