in a world made wide open, when we ourselves are literally space in gathered form - why hold to small beliefs? What is it that keeps us tethered to traditions that confine? There is no reason to believe what's been handed down by ages. Of course what's been given may indeed be true, and useful - and maybe not either. But we are free to find out for ourselves, to examine and explore our world for every kind of truth and even for the false that only serves us for a time. Perhaps better still is to remain us we are - open, as wide as the word itself, and equal in the varied possibilities it offers. We were not made to be small, not in belief, not in life. Our practice is only, always to let go - and simply be. And now we find ourselves, again, as open as the world.
