Emptiness is Full

The moment stands unadorned
The singular, unchanging moment
Neither coming nor going
This moment is All there ever is

Yet into its apparent emptiness
The moment welcomes the stories
Of splendor and strife, of past and future
Of goals and attainment
In one thought this emptiness contains the entire universe

This Emptiness contains All
This Emptiness is Full

― Deepa Khanna Sobti


“Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,
Love is knowing I am everything,
and between the two my life flows.”
