The Empty Fullness

I have been enjoying meditating today on what I call the “empty fullness” of life.  Appreciation for both aspects certainly adds to my enjoyment of the whole.  On the one hand, most of what goes on in life is meaningless, in an eternal sense; recalling that “nothing matters very much and very few things matter at all”.  On the other hand, I have been taking great delight in watching the antics of the birds at my feeders while also watching the gentle and beautiful snow fall.  It has been a very fine day.
