The Emptiness Calls
by Tilia Giron, Chaplain, RScP
I stand in the emptiness that I feel around me without trying to fill it or fix it or change it.
I may quiver and I may quake and,
I also declare, I am OK with that.
Because there is a strength within me that can withstand this feeling of emptiness. I know this.
I know this even when the emptiness seems – SEEMS – just seems to overtake me.
Because I also know that within every fiber of my being and every aspect of my cells, the Divine Essence lives within me and as me.
And I am strong in the emptiness even when I may not feel strong.
I do not have to feel it.
I can simply know it. And so I do.
And so today, I claim my knowingness of the Divine within me despite feelings of emptiness that would suggest otherwise.
I am strong.
I am beautiful.
I carry God’s Divine Light within me as beauty, joy, truth, grace, wisdom, balance faith and strength.
What is a fleeting or even a sticky feeling compared to that?!
Yes, it feels like that. I accept that.
And No!!!
I am not empty despite the feeling!
What is a feeling of emptiness but a call to knowingness! I know my truth and it knows me and lives within me as this radiant star-being filled with Divine Light and Love and Luminosity. And so it is!!!
