Joy in Emptiness

 

Everybody had been waiting for the brand new year and it finally arrived!  Do you see full or empty in a glass on January 1st, 2021?  Full of hope?  If you do, it is because all agony and frustration seemed to be behind us simply by passing the midnight.  Crossing over the timeline from 2020 to 2021 mentally made our glass empty.  When we look at an empty glass, what we see is full of upcoming hope about to fill in the glass, as if it’s already filled.  Even though you don’t see any physical content in the glass, you would be smiling by staring at the empty glass, uplifting anticipation; something good would happen.  Hope does this beautiful thing in our mind.  Emptiness is the true joy!  For that reason, let’s simply say, “Happy New Year!”
