Plerosis (filling) rather than kenosis (emptying) has been my spiritual practice.*
Jean Houston

Before the first chord is written, the song can be anything you want. The possibilities are endless. Finishing the song is the process of eliminating possibilities, and having the guts to do it.**
Gabe Anderson

It is not possible to have it all, oftentimes we must
let go of something for something else to come, but
even these stories of emptying may be gathered up to
become our most precious tales of all.
