Learning to live with and in empty spaces is a gift that we all can open. In Ephesians 4:30 we hear Paul encouraging us to not grieve the Holy Spirit. There is at least one translation that reads, "Do not vex the Holy Spirit." Either way, worth paying attention to.
Grace fills empty spaces,
but it can only enter where
there is a void to receive it,
and it is grace itself that makes this void.
The imagination is continually at work
filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass.
~ Simone Weil
