Made me smile becasue I found myself draw to buddhism and
contemplative practices out of the same sense of a "void".
What "I" discovered was that my idea of "void" and "empty"
were radically changed by the new ideas and practices.
In many contemplative practices there is an attempt to
cultivate a "void" or sense of "emptyness" so it is
somewhat ironic to fill a "void" with contemplation,
cultivation and examination of a "void". Mostly it made
me smile because I think you will discover some really
wonderfull things and ideas.

Here is link to some talks by Ajahn Brahmavamso, who I like alot.

NotATLdave sorry about the tread jack but your story remined me of a quote
for some reason.
There are two tragedies in life.
One is to lose your heart's desire.
The other is to gain it.
George Bernard Shaw
