  My favorite too, and also my first encounter with his writings. Read it back in the eighties as it was one of the writings discussed in "The Mind's I". It was exactly the type of initial clarification I needed to read at the time and definitely shaped my understanding on what the term "God" might point to at a time when all the other options seemed petty and infantile to a curious and perplexed teenager. Wow. Sad to hear about his passing. He set the initial path for much of my subsequent interests.

    That's also in his book "The Tao is Silent". I picked this book off the library shelf at random, so many years ago, and couldn't stop reading the lovely, approachable writing. He helped me think through and finally rid myself of all the fundy Christian mental baggage leftover from when I was a kid.
