Joy in Every Face and Consider Empty

Empty.

We may fear this.
Feeling empty, hollowed out inside.
Absent of the “noise”  of life
So used to full that empty feels strange.

Consider though…

The Grand Canyon
An Empty that brings us to a place of awe

Hollow of a Tree
An Empty that offers a safe respite from the storm

Lungs
An Empty that gives us space to breathe into

Half Empty Glass
An Empty from which to measure abundance

A Ballroom
An Empty space in which to dance

To be full of things is to be empty of God.  To be empty of things is to be full of God. ~Meister Eckhart

I think about that ‘empty’ space a lot.  That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way.  I’ve had to learn that over the years- because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce. ~Meredith Monk
