Today and recently I have been thinking about the space that remains when a person whom you care about is no longer there. It doesn't seem to matter if they moved away, left you with a broken heart or have passed on.
I always feel the space that they walked in is still there, it is as if I am holding the space for them to return to it. Whether they do or not is not really a concern for my heart, it is for God and the Spirits to care for.
There have been friends in my past who have left, some under difficult circumstances, some who have passed on into death from this life, pursuing the next life. After the person is no longer there, I still feel them there. It is as if it is a sacred duty to hold that space for them, so that when they return that place will draw them back once more to continue to walk our path together, no matter how long. I find this is a feeling full of hope and presence, always in my heart.
