Emptiness

There is a feeling of emptiness that calls me. Do you ever just let yourself sink into that feeling that is always there in the background? It seems to be encased in all the thought and feeling structures that have been created to block it out. What do you believe about this feeling? Most of the time we are so busy distracting ourselves we don't even realize it's there, haunting us like a long lost relative we've forgotten about. Sinking deep into the void, past all the belief barriers there is a deep peace, actually a fullness of being that cannot be experienced in the business of the mind.
Funny that I actually haven't 'meditated' for months now after many years of faithful practice and I am probably more aware of the stillness than ever. Could be all the meditating created this space; could be it has nothing to do with it, I really don't know. It doesn't matter, all that matters for me know is being present to it and appreciating every moment, every scenario that plays out against this awesome background.
