Slip into the gap, have the desire, detach from the outcome, and let the universe take care of the details.

My mother would write letters when I was away at camp and say, 'There's an Ann-shaped space around the house. Nobody fills an Ann-shaped space except an Ann.' I'm convinced we all have a God-shaped space in us, and until we fill that space with God, we'll never know what it is to be whole.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote reflects the idea that each person has a unique space that can only be fulfilled by a specific essence, in this case, a divine presence.
Ann B. Davis's quote uses a metaphor of an 'Ann-shaped space' to illustrate that individuals have specific attributes or voids that can only be filled by particular relationships or experiences. She extends this metaphor to suggest that everyone has an innate 'God-shaped space' that only a connection with the divine can truly satisfy, indicating that without this spiritual fulfillment, a sense of completeness or wholeness remains elusive.
