I really appreciate what you said Zip and am glad you chimed in. Talking about label interconnectedness is a bit absurb, but as long as we keep that in mind, I think we'll be safely perched from the tides and holes.

The only thing I wanted clarify is what I mean when I use the label emptiness.

Simply, emptiness doesn't mean devoid of anything, rather it touches on potentials and posits that everything thing is empty of inherent existence until it's in relation to something else viewed with subjective mind.

That means by saying "it's all empty", what is implied is that equal fullness is laying in wait. There are infinite ways to perceive that fullness, in particular, as you said in the many ways to walk through a door way to your car or to be aware that the flashlight will only illuminate so much and that there could be a whole new word at the level of the creepy crawlies and beyond.

The senses are good for what they are worth and you could certainly walk slower or kneel down to observe and you'd just keep seeing more and more and more as you line of vision opens. And I think this is some what of the place that the 'connectedness' feeling comes from when people are tripping. That is because they actually sit down or move slow enough to 'see' what is happening around them and is a chance we have if we slow our gait just a little bit. Which is one thing I'll say I'm thankful for in being a transit rider and selling the car. I have to slow down.

Thanks Zip.
