The Hollowing
“Emptiness prepares space.”
Absence enables reconfiguration.
The symbol
Something inside you has emptied — not violently, not suddenly, but steadily. Where there was once substance, there is now space. The space is preparation, though it may feel like damage. But preparation for what remains unclear, and the uncertainty is its own weight.
The gift
The Hollowing gives you receptivity.
The shadow
The shadow of The Hollowing is superiority through renunciation.
