Dear Amoda,

This resonated deeply within. At first put off by the word "void", by the end this seemed the only connotation that rings true. Thank you for leading us into the abyss, beyond sensation, beyond thought, beyond all longing.

"If you are willing to be nothing, something eternal awakens in you.

If you are willing to stop filling the silence, the silence will speak."

Thank you for this beautiful soliloquy and invitation.

The use of the word void is interesting here. God often is a hard word for people to read, understand, or use, but there really can be no other word, for all is God including the void. Having been there and knowing what that loneliness is like, all I can say is to follow it for one’s own self would be only half the point. It is God who is changing the direction of one’s life and the void period of life is divine redirection. It potent and this can be painful change surely, but it’s full of love too. Only love can guide.
