The Square Hole
"I have a strange sense of inhabiting reality in which I do not quite seem to fit. I suspect that I keep getting tangled up in things not because I fail to see them but because I imagine myself to be configured other than I am. I think of myself as a round peg trying to fit into a round hole, while unaware that I have become a square peg."…..Buddhism Without Beliefs: A Contemporary Guide to Awakening by Stephen Batchelor. ……So where do I find the square hole into which I will fit? Perhaps there is none? If that is true, how do I come to terms with that? I don't really believe there is none. I just haven't yet found it. But I'm getting closer, of that I'm sure. In part because I'm creating the square hole. Thanks be to God!

You know, you really are exactly where you need to be. You don't have to worry about "fitting". Our role is to just be. - Ginn
