hollowed out



if we feel lonely, then it is only because we are forgetting how we are immersed in Tao. that is why loneliness can be an opportunity: it reminds us that we are dwelling on our own egotistic identity rather than on the support of the Tao.

  2. the feeling of loneliness... I know a bit about it, brings many memories back.
    But now I welcome the feeling as I accept that it is my time to be immerse in myself and accept what it is.

    Inspiring post!

  3. I especially like the second picture, the hollower you get the more you find inside. And what a great song/video from Jr.
