In meditation, I find nothingness. In nothingness, I find everything. A rock may roll freely, but it is nonetheless a part of nature. So it goes with life. We may roam freely but we are no more the body than we are the universe in which we wander. If you can see a tree, and feel in your heart its essence, are you not also the tree? And is the leaf any less a part of the tree when it falls to the earth? In healing ourselves, we are healing the entire universe. Do not forget this. And when finally you understand for yourself, may you light the way for all others. May the roots of your being give birth to an ocean of flowers. May you be at peace.
