How can two glasses be exactly the same in size and contents, but be completely different?
One glass half full, another half empty.
I thought about that for a little while last week. What makes a glass half full or half empty? Is it the content? Wine, water of poison? The desire to keep it or to get rid of it?
Maybe it’s about what isn’t there… The fear of the intangible, the invisible, the unknown – the air that increases while the glass slowly empties and leaves me with empty hands.
When I look back in the past I see I could convulsively focus on the last swigs in my glass. Afraid to drink, afraid to loose the little I had.
I see that I do that differently now. I know very well what the best way is to enjoy a full glass of wine. And that is to drink it.
The best way to enjoy a half full glass of wine, is also to drink it.
And the best way to enjoy the last little bit of wine in my glass is… exactly, to drink it and to taste the flavours of red berries with all my taste buds. This is the way I enjoy every sip, be aware of the slowly increasing emptiness and try to embrace it. To be no longer afraid of it. I know that something else will come. Something new. Emptiness is a place to discover or create something new, like an empty page in a book or a blank spot on a map. It can be so terrifying, but inevitable if I want to enjoy every sip. I am not speaking about a specific occasion in my life, but more about the way I look at my life at the moment.
It has changed over the last two years.
