Walk the Talk

Choosing emptiness
As way of living
That divine love fills
Hollow voids within
We drop all seeking

Desireless self
Vibrant with bliss
Agendaless
Exuberant

We melt in
Joy current
In our heart

Lower
Urges

Fade

It's a difficult concept to me but I hear such great things about it. Very nicely expressed.

Happy you dropped by, Andrea! It’s not about easy or difficult. It is simply a shift of attention prioritisation from the ephemeral to the eternal.

"choosing emptiness" is such a somber, sorrowful way to live. This missive reminds us of the importance of joy.

Emptiness is our natural state. We have collected consciousness contracting clutter, in shape of fears & desires, rooted in attachment. Once we choose to drop our bag of grief, so to speak, we become empty, magnetically drawing in the bliss current. We can call it God or divine energy. Unlike fleeting pleasures, bliss is a permanent hum within. Hardly sorrowful, as you put it!
