empty spaces

We always want more

Bigger, better, faster, stronger

But often, the things that last the longest are dormant on the outside

Like roots underneath a tree

Like a seed buried deep underground

Like the souls within us

Sometimes it’s in that empty space

Those spaces unseen, unheard, unnoticed

Where something beautiful and truly abundant is being shaped and birthed

Bigger, better, faster, stronger may make us feel like we’re headed somewhere

But emptiness might actually take us there

“Abundance may make us feel more productive, but perhaps emptiness has greater power to strengthen our souls” Alicia Britt Chole
