Question: What do you do when your heart remembers the breeze of emptiness all of a sudden!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Please turn the breeze into a tempest of Olympian magnitude and try to control it or perish by not doing so!.

Your head remembers that breezes come from more than one direction, that not every breeze is cold and stinging!. There are other breezes to remind your heart about -the ones which are cool and refreshing, the ones that are warm and embracing!. The coldness of winter gives way to spring, and eventually to summer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Invariably, all faculties freeze for a moment, as if to linger in mourning again over the loss, or to feel again that familiar brush of hollowness!.

But life must go on!. So, faculties struggle to switch into 'auto/rescue mode', easing back any blurring of the eyes!.

Through practice, if in company, facial muscles are now able to continue smiling though the eyes may widen a little to hold back any overflow and the head to continue nodding to seem an interest in the conversation of the moment!.

However, if unencumbered by company of the moment, a little luxury of self-pity most times elbows its way in!. The self somehow allows itself to curl and cradle that churning bundle of self-pity before laying it gently down again to rest!.

The question also reminds me of Christina Rossetti's lines:

But who from thy self-chain shall set thee free!?
What heart shall touch thy heart!? what hand thy hand!? β€”
And I am sometimes proud and sometimes meek,
And sometimes I remember days of old
When fellowship seemed not so far to seek
And all the world and I seemed much less cold,
And at the rainbow's foot lay surely gold,
And hope felt strong and life itself not weak!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Remembers a breeze of sudden emptiness!?
If I'm remembering something that means at one point I'd forgotten it!. The emptiness is always there, therefore I never remember a breeze of sudden emptiness!.

This emptiness it kinda something I've grown to accept!. Apart of me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Remind myself that it will pass, it is old habitual thought patterns returning!. Like most cravings it should be gone in 15 to 20mins!.
That's not to say it wont return in 30secs, but at least it is possible to break it down into manageable increments & not be sucked into the void!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I send it to a place in the middle of nowhere
with a big black horse & a cherry tree!.
