Emptying the cloud from the cup
Emptying the cloud from the cup. A young tooth secret visited a wise month and asked that the old man would tell him the path to peace and perfect joy. The monk invited him in and had a cup of tea. This is exactly why the efforts to fill ourselves with positive new belief, good habits, or resolutions to old patterns of thought and behavior are so often frustrated, there is no room for the new beliefs until we empty out the old ones.
