Tao or Nothing

Don't make me close one more door,
I don't want to hurt anymore.
Stay in my arms if you dare,
must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me,
don't walk away from me,
don't you dare
walk away from me!
I have nothing, nothing, nothing,
if I don't have You.
(Whitney Houston, Nothing)

Whitney Houston sums up our spiritual journey pretty well in the perhaps most emotional song of her career, "Nothing". The longer you walk the Way, the more intense gets your irritation with any distraction. To experience peace, love and connectedness is an incredible feeling; why would anyone willingly  depart from it? The journey towards the center of your Self is a path towards holiness. Everything that is not pure love and innocence is perceived as a distraction, so you naturally turn away from it. The little rascal called ego has many tricks to keep you away from Her but eventually pure love shines through no matter where you look. Keep on walking and discover with us that there is no alternative my friend. There is the Tao - Heaven on earth -  and then there is, well, nothing.
