I have come to see the profound value of taking in the whole landscape of life and not rejecting or denying what we are given.

I have also learned that our waywardness, difficulties, and ‘crises’ might not be terminal obstacles. They can actually be gateways to wider, richer internal and external landscapes. If we willingly investigate our difficulties, we can fold them into a view of reality that is more courageous, inclusive, emergent, and wise – as have many others who have fallen over the edge.

When we see deeply into impermanence, we see into emptiness. Things are empty of any fixed, inherent identity because they are always changing.

This emptiness is not a void but a flowing, dynamic process. It is the very condition for the arising of all experience.
