For 2011

When you cut through the dirt and the rock, you create a channel, and a smaller body flows out to greater waters. You take hold of the stark fact that you own your attention, that what you want and what you need are nothing. Out of that nothing, there you are, ready to make something. So you do. I will.

Practical reason and common sense are the twin fires we use to sacrifice authentic Being to our own limits and self-satisfaction.
