Since is traveling, I hope he doesn't mind if I copy and paste this for him from his Facebook page ... Helena

What if the "empty hole" you find "inside" (and hate)

is held in place by the struggle to not have an "empty hole" "inside"?

You did not cause the hole. Life just delivers them.

Or maybe you did

and if so, welcome, welcome....from a fellow hole sculptor.

you are waiting for "feeling less empty" to arrive

you are wondering if "feeling less empty" will "ever" arrive

you are waiting for "wanting" to arrive

(wanting to go to yoga, wanting to meet a friend for coffee or a walk, wanting to travel)

you wonder if "wanting" will "ever" arrive

(other than wanting to want)

if that "different" "better" life will "ever" arrive

and, you are "thinking" that the best you can do is "fake it"

and wonder if you will "ever" be able to do "better" than that

....or if anything will "ever" change

"this does not bode well" you tell me

maybe you go and do things,

but still,

you wait,

you look inside for "wanting" and "feeling less empty" to arrive

but they are not there (inside)?

Only emptiness

and uncertainty on the "good" days,

and, killing certitude on the "worst".

You are looking and looking inside for things that are not inside

(and never were, and never will be).

And are not outside

(and never were, and never will be).

It is like waiting to catch a train in the kitchen.

You look and look and look, but no train arrives.

In fact, you can't even see the tracks!

How will a train "ever" arrive if there are not even tracks?

But the "inside" you are looking "into" is not inside

inside you will find blood and bones and nerves....plumbing, beams, wiring.

What you are looking for is not inside

And, it is not outside.

It is in the dance.

The dance between you and the world, the dance between you and living.

Let go of waiting for a day, an hour, a minute, this moment.

Let go of things like "other" "ever" "better" "different" for a day, an hour, a minute, this moment.

Dance.

Dance and mean it.

Go to yoga, take a friend for a walk, for coffee, travel.

Be kind,

be gentle,

and allow wanting to arrive in its own time.

And, allow a sense of fullness to arrive

in its own time.

They will come to the party, but they never arrive first.

They come after the dancing is well-begun.

So dance friend! Dance!

I need to work on this a bit more, but maybe it is done enough

for you,

for this day,

for this hour,

minute,

moment.

For now, much love, my friend, my friends

yes, you too

yes you

Wow, . Thanks so much for this lovely offering. So glad you sent this now.

Funny, just caught myself with imagining i will print this out, put it on my

refrigerator and then wait for the good feeling to return, the one I had when

reading this! Yes, it happens just that quickly...the wanting, wondering,

waiting. Oh dear, it's truly hopeless isn't it?! (Said smiling). Time to go

dance.

Joyous travels,

terry
