Wise and clever Nasrudin -- he kept his ring and the man had no ring to think of Nasrudin. My understanding is that reminding is in me, not in an object, and the reminding in me gets stirred. Value is also in me, not in an object -- whatever is valuable to me has value. Emptiness can be full of value by me seeing value, which seeing is in me. My giving makes what I give a gift whether the other takes it or likes it or not. For me, a gift may be a thing or no thing, and a nongift is no gift. Gift is defined by the giving, not by the thing or no thing. I've given no thing gifts such as my caring or my truth in response to which hearts opened, which are wonderful experiences. What helps me see fullness in emptiness is my attitude, for example, an attitude of being open and an attitude of wanting fullness.
