Healthy mysticism praises acts of letting go, of being emptied, of getting in touch with the space inside and expanding this until it merges with the space outside. Space meeting space; empty pouring into empty. Births happen from that encounter with emptiness, nothingness.... Let us not fight emptiness and nothingness, but allow it to penetrate us even as we penetrate it.

Matthew Fox in Creation Spirituality: Liberating Gifts for the Peoples of the Earth by Matthew Fox

 

To Practice This Thought:
