Empty

Pour it out. Dump it down. Throw it out. Empty every bag,

box and bureau. Empty every closet, every corner, every

cupboard, every cell. Pull it out. Drag it out. Clean it

out. Clear it out. Spread it out, sort it out. Look at

what you've collected, what you've stored, what

you carry around with you every day of your

life. Empty out the old, the unwanted,

the unusable. Empty out the pain, the

heartache, the memories. Empty

everything that offers nothing.

Leave things empty for a

while. Feel empty. Feel the

lack. Feel your way

through the

nothingness,

until at last

you feel

ready to

fill.
