Reflection 620
Welcome!
The All Is Nothing
The All is nothing, for if it were to be a single thing, separated from all other things, it would bot be All. This precisely is the liberty I have always sought: the freedom of being subject to nothing and therefore to live in All, through All, for All, by Him who is All... But if the truth is to make me free, I must also let go my hold upon myself, and not retain the semblance of a self which is an object of a 'thing'. I, too, must be no-thing. And when I am no-thing I am in the All.
Thomas Merton.
