Week 8 ~ Empty

EMPTYSo many of the messages I hear have to do with filling up…Fill up our time with activityFill up our homes with stuffFill up our bellies with foodFill up our glasses with drinkFill up our brains with technologyThis week I want to try to live with some emptiness.Instead of pulling out my phone as soon as I have a minute, I want to let the minute pass.Instead of turning on the radio as soon as I get in the car, I want to be quiet.Instead of grabbing a bowl or cereal or cup of yogurt as soon as I feel a little hungry, I want to feel the emptiness for a bit.I want to see what I am making space for,As I leave some empty room in my body, my mind, my heart, my soul.EMPTY(from AMQS)
