Well I've arrived home after an action-packed two weeks of virtuous Dharma work ... and contemplation on the only thing that's worth thinking about ... EMPTINESS

Thanks and I hope all is well in the sunshine state ... Is it Nick or Lucy that teaches you Dharma? I don't know either of them but I've heard they're both great. Hey enjoy Interpol! I wish they were stopping in Ottawa!
indeed my friend ... the more you accept emptiness, the MORE things change ... until finally, emptiness accepts you ... and you both live happily ever after in blissful union. Emptiness and me sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
i think emptiness has already accepted us all, we're just in denial... trying to fill our lives with anything, desperate to have it all, for comforts sake... when in fact we are only attempting to fill a bucket with no bottom.
and the more we put in, the more we lose.
just give up; let it be empty.
[it always will be anyway... despite your greatest efforts]
i like the analogy ... too many parallels to fully consider. the bucket with no bottom is no bucket at all ... more like a tunnel. when we "give up; let it be empty" ... we can begin to speak and act from vantage point of truth ... key word = BEGIN. so how 'bout those Flames?!
