There is only one thing, from the very beginning, infinitely bright and mysterious by nature.
It was never born and it never dies. It cannot be described or given a name.
Sutra from The Mirror of Zen by Zen Master So Sahn
Commentary:
To me, this is both God, and the energy that runs the entire universe (from planets and stars to humans and microorganisms), which I believe to really be one and the same, whether you describe it through mathematical equations and laws of physics or theological doctrine and biblical verse. This 'one thing', I believe, exists within us, as well as all around us, and so all that exists is really intertwined into one great thing, even if we each have unique qualities within this system. Understanding I am only one small part of this big never-ending system is humbling, but it is also freeing.
