Big reason why it's so important for me to solidify myself, to coalesce...

When you've got some substance, when you've got some sort of a solid core, (almost) no matter how slight, you can draw to yourself knowledge, experiences, people, and they all enrich you. With awareness, you can build on that foundation with every breath you take. You can give generously of yourself because you are able to live with abundance.

When you're not solid enough, you're like a whirlpool, drawing things to yourself in an effort to fill the void, but getting them only to lose them again, sunk to the bottom of a sea you can't fathom.

Or at least that's the way I get.

It's cyclical for me, of course. Definitely still at the part of the cycle where I need to coalesce, oh yes. Wonder how long this will last this time.

that is very acute, cb. i've been both ways, too. it's scary feeling like a whirlpool -- i can feel hollow and needy and frightened at times. then at other times, blessedly whole and centered. this is beautifully put.
