God is,
And we are not.
The problem is,
we think;
We are,
And God is not!

Yes, its as simple as that. flip it and its game over.

Do you not see
that you and I
Are as the branches of one tree?
With your rejoicing
Comes my laughter;
With your sadness
Start my tears.
Love,
Could love be otherwise
With you and me?

-TSU YEH, Tsin dynasty, AD 265-316

Creating Space to Dance Together

"When we feel lonely we keep looking for a person or persons who can take our loneliness away. Our lonely hearts cry out, “Please hold me, touch me, speak to me, pay attention to me.” But soon we discover that the person we expect to take our loneliness away cannot give us what we ask for. Often that person feels oppressed by our demands and runs away, leaving us in despair. As long as we approach another person from our loneliness, no mature human relationship can develop. Clinging to one another in loneliness is suffocating and eventually becomes destructive. For love to be possible we need the courage to create space between us and to trust that this space allows us to dance together."

- Henri Nouwen, Bread for the Journey

As the great plague of hurryness and busyness engulfs us, Man desperately screams for some silence.

"An assertion is Zen only when it is itself an act and does not refer to anything that is asserted in it."
