098/499 … filling the Great Emptiness (09/25/08)
Such profound barrenness would accompany us for the better part of the next three weeks. This is the Maseta — the “wilderness” that brings more than a few pilgrims to their knees. It is walks such as these that mandate that we first go deep within ourselves to cleanse what is hindering our ability to truly Love others. It can be a most disconcerting journey, and yet for those who persist through this trial, a profound mixture of Calm & joy awaits them on the other side.
“We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one else can take for us or spare us.” ~ Marcel Proust
