Hi Joe,
I am not sure about the emptiness.  It is only empty if you expect to find some thing.  As it is, we create such things.  We do not create them out of nothing.  So it is far from empty.

Consider the ghost (or structure) of reason.  We build it.  We do not replace emptiness with this ghost.  MOQ is such a ghost.  What we are is creativity.
