Everything is what we say it is
But it's also something more:
Timeless, unknowable, ineffable.
That's not to say
We shouldn't use the names we have
Or the adjectives to describe them.
But there's always more.
Like the space between the inbreath and the outbreath--
The gap.
Fall into the gap.

About Me
- Traveler
- Life involves an endless reckoning and experimenting with balance. As we learn and experience, the fulcrum shifts, and we find new equilibriums. These two blogs respresent contrasting ends on the balance. Ego leads us through the world, and presents our face to others. But too much ego is vanity, desperation and despair. The sublime, the empty, on the other hand (or the other side of the brain) provides a deep richness, sense of connection and love. Yet it will not feed us, cloth us, and maintain us in the world. Each side can play tricks and appear through illusion. Through the heart, a balance is found.

The tao that can be named is not the eternal tao . . .
I just realized that tao is just one letter away from "taco." I was thinking of something along the lines of, "If we can only 'c'... Like if we only 'c' the tao, then we can have tacos!" Sorry, it's a bit early for me, but I really do love tacos. And good ones are too hard to find here in Ohio.
