embracing emptiness Quotes

I’m cool with nothing cause even nothing is something

Healthy mysticism praises acts of letting go, of being emptied, of getting in touch with the space inside and expanding this until it merges with the space outside. Space meeting space; empty pouring into empty. Births happen from that encounter with emptiness, nothingness. . . . Let us not fight emptiness and nothingness, but allow it to penetrate us even as we penetrate it.

Don't be afraid to have nothing.

But you know who you are when you're on your own out there in all that emptiness. There's no past, no holding on to the scraps that are all you've got left. Everything is that minute, or maybe tomorrow, not yesterday.

Who is not afraid of pure space - that breathtaking empty space of an open door?

Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.
