Empty, Free

How do we communicate truth? By defining, illustrating, pointing. By living.

By listening. Sharing. Praying.

Do we communicate for the sake of our ego (to advertise our knowledge) or as a gift? Perhaps our motives inform the outcome.

I want to communicate that since I joined the Catholic church I am a better person, more engaged, kinder, a better listener, less anxious, more giving, more in control.

Also, I take more risks. I am less afraid of failure, lack of success, death.

In short, I believe I have more, and that I give more. How do I communicate this without talking about myself? Because, I know this has to do with God, not with me. Not with me at all.

Not at all. Not one bit. I have nothing to say about myself beyond what I say to myself on occasion, to remind myself what God has done for me, to give praise.

How do I communicate this to be faithful to what I have received?

I do not know, except to write poems, post the occasional blog with this or that observation. I am never so knowing of my emptiness as when God has helped me to be strong and free.
