Dealing With a Hollow
Posted: January 31, 2008, 9:36 am by Administrator
One of the reasons why we hold on to things despite our better judgment is because of the fear of loss. A person simple cannot bear the thought of the hollow that the absence will create.
How can a person look at a hole without seeing its emptiness? Simply by putting something inside the hole. A person can decide to take a young seedling and plant it inside a hole. And each time the person looks at the hole, in the place of the hollow he or she will see the young plant needing Love and care. And will then nurture it moment by moment.
When it comes to the emptiness of the heart, the best seedling to fill the hollow would be anything that has spiritual meaning. Jesus Christ for example, supported by the practices of reading the Bible, praying, contemplation and meditation can be an excellent way. And soon what seemed like unbearable emptiness turns out to become a source of joy and lifelong sustenance.
Blah blah blah

Yet more fish cakes
Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.
