Empty space

Empty space.

A couple more weeks to go and our moving truck will be here...
it will have been a month since we've seen the majority of our earthly possessions
and I have mixed feelings on everything getting here.

Yes, I will be glad to see some of our things.
Yes, we are blessed with many niceties and our needs have always been more than met.

There is a large portion of me though that doesn't want these empty spaces filled.
The discomfort of blank space has become familiar, peaceful, calming.

These last few years have been a gradual move into simplifying,
removing clutter from our home, but also our hearts and minds,
freeing up more space for each other.

If nothing else, empty space reminds us of what truly matters
in this world - love and gratitude.
