I woke from the most wonderful dream of my parents at an imaginative resort and in their bathing suits and looking beautiful and my mother was just going in for a swim and my father was watching her. She was in a topless bathing suit, and proudly displaying the one breast she had left when she died. I feel happy reassurance that my parents are well, and vacationing happily wherever they are now and whatever we are given or create in the larger womb into which we birth when we die. I feel myself lighten with knowing yes, of course, they are well.
Thanksgiving is close! Hooray!!
Words from Lao Tzu
Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that allows the wheel to function.
We mold clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes the vessel useful.
We fashion wood for a house,
but it is the emptiness inside
that makes it livable.
We work with the substantial,
but the emptiness is what we use.
- Lao Tzu
