emptiness

life is scheduled. life is full. life seems to be incorrect if stress is not always heightened (we even drink coffee to increase our stress).

addiction flourishes whenever there is no time for emptiness. we are intimidated by silence, intimidated by inactivity. the addicted person tries harder to fight his or her addiction but the most effective way to resist an addiction is to make room for emptiness in life.

when is the last time you felt empty?
when is the last time you embraced silence?
when is the last time you felt empty?

God's grace shows up in emptiness. God's grace is the only "way" out...
