How did I come up with the name Empty Mind? Well, over the years, I’ll blame a college professor for this, I have developed a strong interest in Taoism and Buddhism. The past year I have been reading everything I could find on the subject and listening to a daily Buddhist podcast. Many people are confused, often myself included, on the paradoxes of Eastern thought. The empty mind is often thought of by us Westerners as being stupid, lazy, without thought, etc. However, if your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s mind there are few. This is how I see myself. Open to everything. Open to any possibility. Open to new experiences, new people, a new me.
