GIVE SPACE

We're always trying to fill every space in our lives...to leave no space unfilled. We believe that every part of ourselves, our world, must be used. Our time, Our energy, Our spaces, Our words. We fill the silence with words, We fill our loneliness with people, We fill our spaces with things we hardly touch or use, We fill our time with unimportant doing, And everything seems to become an urgency, Yet at the same time, we also see very little as urgent. Sounds contradictory right...kind of yes, but also not. We fill our lives with so much of what's not that important...to keep us busy, looking busy, looking like we're capable beings of doing so much. Yet at the same time, we think we have endless days in front of us, that many don't allow themselves to do what's truly important for themselves, thinking one day....I'll get there one day, I'll do those meaningful things, one day. Yet we all need space. We need space to feel, We need space to think, We need space to be, We need space to breathe, We need space to function properly. We at times, need to put ourselves on hold for a moment. Allowing ourselves to take moments throughout the dance of life to pause for a moment or a while. The dance of life gets to be a mixture of beautiful motions that are both fast, slow & still...incorporating all of it allows us to connect with mind, body & soul. When we only allow ourselves to be in one space - be it fast, slow or still, Or when we only allow ourselves to nurture one part of us - be it mind, body or soul, We become unbalanced, unfulfilled, out of quilter... So create your own dance of life that feeds every part of you...for when you do, your connection with self deepens.
