“Profound poverty"
Convinced we need everything
lack of mindfulness
Leaves an empty hollowness
Only spirit can now fill

in few perfectly chosen words, you speak to us of the necessary emptying of the cup in order to be filled with grace ...
what I receive from your message here, is that the cup of the "ordinary man" has been filled with the intoxicating wine of impermanence, leading to even more longing, yet never quenching the thirst ... for his cup was full of holes ... a bottomless hole ... hollowness the result ...
the good news is that this hollowness has become sufficiently unbearable for its owner, in order to pass the rudder to a higher force ... letting spirit do the job ... a happy end after all ...
I love the tibetan prayer-flags flowing on your page ...
thank you so much,
marion
