I have been in a state of emptiness. Scott Peck in his book a Different Drum described emptiness as making room for the other, whatever the other may mean to you. It maybe something different, unexpected, new and maybe even better. Most importantly, it maybe for the community. We cannot let the other into ourselves unless we empty ourselves. Silence too is the most essential ingredient of emptiness. The purpose of emptying ourselves is to make room for the new…Keep this.
