Void

Word of the Day Void....n.,....empty space When something or someone cherished leaves our lives, there is a void. Sometimes the voids are small....sometimes they are deep craggy holes. I'm not sure we should try to fill these spaces. Much like wounds, because that's what they are, I think we must allow our voids to heal naturally and openly. Many people try to pack these spaces with artificial things. This is an avoidance, not a healing. We all lose special people and things. It is a natural process of life. Maybe it's a family member or friend...maybe it's through death or a move or other circumstance. Maybe it's your joy or creativeness or your enthusiasm. Whenever you experience a void in your life....and you surely will......allow yourself to grieve, or cry, or withdraw. Be kind to yourself, knowing that someday......maybe in a week, month or year......that void will slowly begin to fill with whatever it is that is destined to fill it. It will become packed with memories, and strength. The void that was so openly hurtful and raw, will evolve into the thing that most rewards, encourages and fills with trust and faith. Walk in the Light. Trust in the Process. Give the One who heals and fills....His time.... for surely, and without fail.... He is on and by your side.
