    Feeling Empty

    Feeling Empty

    "Today, like every other day,
    we wake up empty and frightened.
    Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.
    Take down a musical instrument.
    Let the beauty we love be what we do.
    There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground."

    -Rumi
