feel empty.
but that means you have a huge space to fill then, day by day. you take each happy/memorable moment from each day and you shore up the walls of your inside heart.
you choose the colorful ones to keep it a mosaic of lolmemories.
Am actually depressed too, but then I catch my breath and remember to pray or at least put myself in a state of prayer where my heart matches the beat of a small prayer yearning for clarity and humility--the strength to walk with light.
At times we feel empty because the dark permeates our field of vision...that field being the path we set out on when we were born. If you look back over your shoulder carefully you will see lights that you have affixed along the way. These lights are signposts built from memories and achievements. Looking forward, everything does seem dark and bleak--but if you stop to take a long breath, you will notice a light in the distance.
The analogy of living daily as compared to a journey is cliche, it is mundane. Yet, how else can small beings like us (who as we grow along, actually become huge to match our hearts--if we grow right), see what is really there?
Not a path, but a flowing towards the All. If (Wo)Man could really see, then maybe our skin would be aflame and our eyes bright and golden from beauty. Our hair would be bleached to
a lame brilliance, our hearts would beat with light.
If we could really see, which is why we are given life, then we will be living lights for others. Then the emptiness will not matter. For in that emptiness, when looked through love, we see light. We have no other choice but to do so, we are fated to love.
