Fields and Forests

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about."

--Rumi

“Between the statements ‘God exists’ and ‘There is no God’ lies a whole vast field, which a true sage crosses with difficulty. But a Russian usually knows only one of these two extremes; what lies between them is of no interest to him. But it is to me.”

--Anton Chekhov

Well, I am interested in those fields too, but I think I am still wandering in the forest.
