Is emptiness actually fullness and an opportunity for inner growth? Experiencing changes in my family as my children individually establish their own homes and occupancy of other people and events. In their daily lives, I continue to emotionally reach for our interaction as I’ve been used to when we all lived together. Is this emptiness? I feel the opportunity they provide me for my own growth?
So, is this emptiness I feel a gift? As in this story, is the ring that’s not there a gift? As I look at this new phase of life as fullness in a different dimension, it shifts the emotion into a positive place. I believe it is by expectations of involvement with my family that perpetuate loneliness. Shifting that into fullness and opportunity creates unlimited new opportunities. Here in lies the gift my children are giving me and I am giving them. This is unconditional love.
I feel very blessed with seeing my life with my family with bright excitement, enthusiasm, growth, and the deepest love ever imagined!
Dr Jagdish Dave’ , my friend and teacher, you have brought the teachings to my heart that have allowed me this powerful understanding. This is the greatest gift. This is what my children have been giving and demonstrating to me all along. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
