QUOTES

We are empty, and we have tried to fill that emptiness with such trivialities as belief, opinion, judgments, and with political, so-called religious and artistic
Addiction to knowledge is like any other addiction; it offers an escape from the fear of emptiness, of loneliness, of frustration, the fear of being nothing.

~Jiddu Krishnamurti
INSPIRED POEM
See what's here, right now.
No push, no fight.
Forget yesterday's shadow,
Tomorrow's distant light.
Sit quiet, let thoughts fade.
A stillness, soft and deep.
When your mind is empty,
Truth begins to creep.
Just breath, a gentle sound.
Awareness, clear and bright.
The light of this moment,
Your own inner light.
Strip it all away,
To what truly is.
Breath, mind at peace,
And the simple bliss.
