"There is so much everything that nothing is hidden quite nicely" - Wizlawa Szymborska. It is easy to create an idea of emptiness, but how can we be present and come to know groundlessness? How do we practice this truth? For starters we need to be quiet, still and open.
The reflection on death helps us prepare for this unavoidable fact, makes us look at our priorities, and brings much gratitude, joy, and lightness into our life.
This continuum speaks to the need to belong that is deeply rooted in our social and biological makeup. This need may well be one of the driving forces in our yearning for spiritual completion. Even when we group like-minded people around us, most of us still feel a subtle sense of alienation that we cannot overcome. We seem to be outside observing life rather than embedded within it.
