Empty Fullness 2

Today, I was gathering together the information needed to calculate my taxes, in preparation for sending it off for the actual calculation.  I was aware that I could certainly view the whole tax process as essentially meaningless government interference and control.  On the other hand, I could take delight in the process and view it as part of the “empty fullness” of life.  If I do the latter then tax preparation becomes as beautiful as the snow falling outside or the birds at my feeders.  I much prefer the latter view, seeing my glass as full rather than half empty or half full.
