brief gnostic quote that seems very zen to me--

"We are woven from no-thingness, and yet that no-thingness is every-thingness, immeasurable space and light, inseparable from all and from the source of all, the Holy One. Feeling the no-thingness we are, often we think we are little, small, insignificant, but that is not true, for the soul that is in us is great, and every thought, word and deed has great power. It is for this reason that Adonai Yeshua said, “I am the light of the world,” and he said to us, “You are the light of the world,” and so has said, “Let your light shine!” Peace be with you!"  ~Tau Malachi

brings to mind, "a formless field of benefaction."  also, about how Life is flowing, through us and around us, and it's not personal.

don't you think?!
