about the old zen masters who went on and on until they were blue in the face about nothing, literally : it was a kind of trick — a door through which you have to go to get to 'everything'. it is as if they were saying, to see everything you must first see nothing, you must become nothing — and you must be nothing without wanting to be something because, i think the old zen masters understood this, in nothing there is no other — and if you experience there being no other then suddenly you realise that you are many things — not just one thing.

and there is a great freedom in this. once you are free of what is almost an obligation to become more than you are, you are able to realise that you are everything. you have nothing to prove.

je bent genoeg. you are enough.

there will be more here later — or less ...
