“It is curious how our thoughts seem to come out of the emptiness they are trying to fill.”

—Richard Krause, from Epigrams

“We practically can't do anything without judging. Say, a flower - is it pretty? You almost can't look at a flower without evaluating it. It’s very hard for you to sit and just be here and let all this stuff happen without judging. Is it good? Is it right? Is it wrong? Will it help me? That’s part of the trap. And so, what gets really exquisite is when you start to watch your own thoughts, and you realize that they're like birds flying across the blue sky. And when you realise that and you’re finally along on the journey, you’ll notice that your mind is completely empty - mindlessly floating along. It’s all happening. It’s all happening. Oh … wow … No doer, it’s just happening!”

—Ram Dass

“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper, That we may record our emptiness.”

—Khalil Gibran
