Void - it’s all a matter of perspective.
Isn’t it?
Glass half empty or half full.
Whatever station in life.
Whatever place you find yourself in.
You have come from another.
You have risen above.
What rungs have you stood upon, leaned on, climbed upon, rested on?
Who and what inspired you, helped you, motivated you?
Days before,
Weeks before,
Years before.
This void you feel on the inside,
Is another’s void on the outside.
Your challenges of past,
Is another’s present.
Do not fall back.
Rise above.
Climb higher.
Do not make this void your song.
Do not rest upon that rung too long.
Go outside yourself.
Climb but one step higher.
For now.
Just one.
Who can you uplift today?
Who is on the rung below,
The one you stood on not long ago?
For now.
Just one.
Reach out your hand.
One step higher is one step taller.
Offer to brighten.
Offer to enrich.
Offer to step out of your discomfort.
Into another’s.
A card or a call.
A smile can prevent a fall.
Perspective changes.
Perspective changed.
Gaps filled.
Hearts touched.
Let’s fill our cups to overflow.
Count our blessings.
Express our gratitude.
One by one.
As a whole.
We are strong enough.
Kind enough.
Good enough.
To fill a void today.
