Beautifully written. Thank you very very much. The words that really struck home for me were, “What ‘I’ truly is, is vastly more than a character in a movie. ‘I’ is no-thing at all. But it’s not nothing.” May I please quote this on Pinterest giving you attribution of course? Fr. Robert Dalgleish

"And yet this center-less no-thing is not a dead nihilistic void, but rather, a generative emptiness brimming with absolutely everything!"

Easily one of my all-time favorite articulations of this point. A little electrical jolt of pleasure and affirmation shot through me as I read it. Thank you, Joan.
