The Fullness of Emptiness Sometimes we feel an inner sense of emptiness. When we look within, it seems like nothing is there, so we distract ourselves with something on the outside... Are the empty spaces painful or just empty? Sense of emptiness or lack, such as a lack of worthiness, capability, clarity, understanding, or a lack of peace, joy, or love. The sensations of emptiness can be enjoyed. There is a richness to silence, to stillness, to space itself. We overlook the richness of the inner silent spaces in our being. Most of us are quite unfamiliar with them because weve been turning away from them most of our lives. Just as a wine connoisseur can make finer distinctions in the flavor and quality of wine than someone who has only tasted wine a few times, we can become connoisseurs of emptiness. What we do in response to the emptiness the source of our discomfort, including the stories we tell ourselves and the judgments about the fact that we feel empty? Who knew that there was a deep reservoir of infinite peace lying under the restless feeling of a lack of peace. Capture the infinite potential of the source of love and joy within us. Because this peace, love, and joy can never be exhausted, they can never be lost or used up. Enjoy them while they appear, and enjoy the stillness and spaciousness that remain when there isnt a particular manifestation of Presence, or Being, appearing.
