You cannot fill a Gap with another gap. You can-. not solder an Abyss with air.
The opening, the gap. of the mind cannot be repaired with anything else

To fill a Gap
Insert the Thing that caused it –
Block it up
With Other – and ’twill yawn the more –
You cannot solder an Abyss
With Air

nannyfish, I'ts hard for me to communicate with fish because of my sixth house sun:>


To me today, love is a permanent gap that opens up when your feelings frighten you. And it sits there and scares you and when you lose that person, the fear goes away. Maybe love is not meant to do anything but frighten us, and it takes strength to cope with those feelings.

I believe Emily Dickinson was talking about being sorry she was born, she wanted to return to the womb where it was safe. So the poem is really about safety and fear of living-her mother had problems.

She had so many issues with herself she never felt she could love the correct way and she felt separate from herself.

Maybe she didn't know that love wouldn't fill the gap, or a mother's love, or knowing herself, it's love that creates that fear.

Maybe fear, and the gap are necessary?

When you start thinking this way, it's time to quit your day job. Plus I maybe falling for a young pisces.

Take Care,
Natasha

Natasha - you communicate with this Fish just fine darling.

I get you.

Love is not something that must fill you up. It is something that should surround and reflect the glow already inside of you. Because it comes from within not from outside. It is a blending of the highest energy forms within people that is expressed externally and is a subjective viewpoint of an external interaction.

Not an easy wisdom to integrate. Myself included.
