But it is often in this emptiness, that we begin to deeply understand & can actually find bliss in the vast ocean of one-ness that we truly are with each other, and all of existence as a whole. Being able to observe this miracle through our own hearts & eyes is a blessing, a lesson, and a wonder all at once – and one of the reasons I decided to add the hand to this disseminating muse, to suggest & remind that we can objectively take part in what comes our way & how we choose to react to it & allow it to shape who “we are.”
