“Detachment is not that you should own nothing. But that nothing should own you.” Ali ibn abi Talib
The Paradox Sometimes we are like an overflowing glass, a vessel to be filled that cannot be filled, the cup running over but never receiving, a fulness no emptiness can teach; to be full of nothing is to be full of everything, but to be full of everything is to be full of nothing.

What a wonderful explanation of zen! Many times over thousands of years it has been tried, but I think never more successfully than this.

Well, now you’re saying I’m right up there with the Zen 🙂 seriously though – that was my intention, it virtually wrote itself. Thank you for the wonderful comment Ana
