 From Henri Nouwen:
"We
are afraid of emptiness. Spinoza speaks about our "horror vacui," our
horrendous fear of vacancy. We like to occupy-fill up-every empty time
and space. We want to be occupied. And if we are not occupied we easily
become preoccupied; that is, we fill the empty spaces before we have
even reached them. We fill them with our worries, saying, 'But what if
...'
It is very hard to allow emptiness to exist in our lives.
Emptiness requires a willingness not to be in control, a willingness to
let something new and unexpected happen. It requires trust, surrender,
and openness to guidance. God wants to dwell in our emptiness."
