If we would only dare to empty ourselves of ourselves before we think to try and fill ourselves with what we hope can complete us, then we would find ourselves wonderfully empty of all painful empty feelings.

Part I: Who serves only himself in this life may be first to find a seat at the table, but he eats from a plate filled only with emptiness. Part II: If we must dream, let us long for that life beyond ourselves; for who desires things already known, or otherwise imagined in forms reconfigured from fantasies too well worn? Behold!

If we will only dare give everything we are to whatever we may be doing at the moment then, when that relationship reaches its natural end, we will always find we have been given more than we had at the start.
