I'm a mystical humanist with naturalistic leanings and receptivity to disclosure of the divine. I meander comfortably amid the Confucian-Taoist motifs and stories of my heritage. My religious vision is tempered by existentialism, grounded in earth-centered spiritualities, aligned with the wisdom of Western tradition, especially Judeo-Christian, and bathed in trustful agnosticism.
-- Tom Owen-Towle, Freethinking Mystics with Hands

Men flow into life, and ebb into death.
Some are filled with life;
Some are empty with death;
Some hold fast to life, and thereby perish,
For life is an abstraction.
Those who are filled with life
Need not fear tigers and rhinos in the wilds,
Nor wear armour and shields in battle;
The rhinoceros finds no place in them for its horn,
The tiger no place for its claw,
The soldier no place for a weapon,
For death finds no place in them.
