EMPTY

There is a space

that is empty.

It is waiting for you—

to move in.

It is waiting for you 

to inhabit it,

but without the clutter

you carry and cart 

around

from place to place,

from space to space,

that is always in

your way.

Empty is where

you want to be.

It is the place

you are trying to get to,

that you will call home

when you arrive.

Only in empty can you

feel unencumbered

and free,   

and a sense of 

serenity. Empty is

not a place

outside you

it is a space

that resides

within you.

Make room for it.
