i sought her from myself
she was there all along
how strange that i
had concealed her from me
calling myself from me
to guide me by my voice
to that part of me
lost in my search
me begging me
to raise the screen
by lifting up the veil
for i was my only means to me

if you found it
and destroyed
if you lost it
the one was always you

If things existed inherently or by way of their own character, they would be independent and could not be affected by causes and conditions. Emptiness, or the lack of inherent existence, makes possible production, abiding, and disintegration.

but for him hell is rather an existential place or state of not realizing
who we are and what we are called to be”

it's been years since i've been gone
i miss the way it feels to roam
this urge that's grown inside my heart
to pack my bags and hit the road
i’m dreaming of the road again
set free in the wind
feels like we've found home again
on the road that's grown within
i miss the way it feels to roam
this urge that's grown inside my heart
to pack my bags and hit the road
i’m dreaming of the road again
set free in the wind
feels like we've found home again

my dear friend on the not-so-subtle nonsense happening at the monastic academy in vermont and the apologists wrapping themselves in a veil of pluralistic relativism to avoid the very real pain of facing the truth.

be patient toward all that is
unsolved in your heart and
try to love the questions themselves
do not now seek the answers
which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them
and the point is to live everything
live the questions now
