A Good Quote from my book, “Life With a Hole in It”

“Living a spiritual life requires admitting that one is not living a spiritual life.”

And a quote from Alan Larus, also in the book:

“In my visits to my teacher I noticed
A change many years ago.
Her house has always been silent.
Now the silence began to rip every illusion apart.”

Words won’t enlighten you. I am not even sure that meaning can. When you are left with the ultimate silence, words and meaning both fall away.

The page of the heart is blank, even while emotions rage and words tumble out. It remains blank even while human beings cram nouns and adjectives and expletives in.

The open heart is receptive and open and only grace has the key.

Oh, humility plays a part, but that, too, must fall away.

When there is nobody home, there is no one to blame.

What a frickin’ relief.
