I enjoy playing with this thought. When I explore it a little more deeply, it seems that as I focus-in I see though the hole of a lens and the object of my attention grows bigger.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I can see the hole as a visual representations zero, or nothing. And then the inverse, I need something around nothing to define the absence.<\/p>\n<p>For me, w\/holeness deserves may moments contemplation or meditative awareness. By sitting with the concept, I open myself to a deeper focus, but sometimes rabbit holes that can lead to digressions, false tunnels of thought, and\/or a window into being connected to a bigger whole. And the list goes on. The possibilities are endless, I say, thanks to our consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>When I add to this, the scientific notion that our material world right down to its smallest bits, is filled with lots of emptiness, it seems wise to keep the concept of w\/holeness alive and close by.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#a3a3a3&#8243; transparent_background=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/woodlandsun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/whole01.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;A Balanced Soul, (Not for Sale)&#8221; title_text=&#8221;A Balanced Soul (20%22 X 15%22)&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]A Balanced Soul[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/woodlandsun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/whole034.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;A W\/holy Soul Adrift ($150)&#8221; title_text=&#8221;A W\/holy Soul Adrift  (20%22 X 15%22)&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]A W\/holy Soul Adrift[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/woodlandsun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/whole0261.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;W\/hole Pod, Sold&#8221; title_text=&#8221;W\/hole Pod  (8%22 x 10%22)&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]W\/hole Pod[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>W\/holeFired UpWhy is it, if you take the \u201cW\u201d from \u201c wholeness\u201d you end up with a \u201chole\u201d?
