Voids...

stopped by http://blog.scalejunkie.com/ and read the post on resilience and it got me to thinking about voids in my life. wonder if voids are really like the margins on a paper or maybe the rests in a piece of music. without the margins the paper would be hard to read and music withouts rests would just loose all that potential that comes with those suspenseful rests right before that final chord that sends shivers up your spine. why is it that i fight against the voids in my life? why is it that i think it should always be all filled up to the top with good things...isn't it the air that makes ice cream more than just a frozen chunk of cream and sugar? isn't it the air that makes a loaf of bread delicious instead of just a brick of flour and water? (My sister made "bread" that even her chickens wouldn't eat! ) wonder what would happen if i tried to embrace the voids in my life? wonder what would happen if i looked at them in a new light? wonder if i could learn to sit with a void and wait patiently until the final chord comes sending shivers up my spine? wonder if i could begin to see them as part of the music instead of rushing to fill them up right away with whatever is at hand (food???) and messing up the song?
