"I experience God as Source, the Emptiness that gives rise to Form."

"I experience God as Source, the Emptiness that gives rise to Form . . . Looking at emptiness, I feel I see God.  Form is the manifest side of emptiness.  Creation keeps on happening . . . My experience of emptiness is that it is alive with the possibility of everything waiting to be born . . . When I pray, I think of how 'God is One' and 'Emptiness' feel the same to me.  When I give thanks, daily, for my life, I think about creation as the amazing process by which nondifferentiated emptiness continually is reborn as form."
