I think I'm starting to find out that it doesn't
have to be filled. I'm learning that it's okay to just...........be. And when you can just be, life becomes satisfying. Whatever is happening right now becomes just fine. (*edit to add: in the sense of accepting what is, rather than resisting it) That void is a gift. Eckhart Tolle calls it the "conscious presence," Deepak Chopra calls it "the gap," (as in the gap between thoughts), M. Scott Peck calls it "grace," you can call it HP, but no matter what you call it, it is where life resides.
