The Space Between

 


The shore is the safest place to stay, they say.  But sometimes we venture out into the deep.  We realize when it’s too late that we can’t touch the bottom, we can’t swim, or we’re swimming with the sharks.  It’s the space in between the two shores that we find out who we are. 

The space in between a girl and a woman.

The space in between a marriage and divorce.

The space in between having babies and an empty nest.

The space in between the shallow and the deep.

We’ll never lose our fear if we don’t let go of the side and swim.  Some say freedom is out there waiting past our comfort zone.  But what they don’t know is…

The space in between will pull you under. 

The space in between makes you grow too fast from a girl to a woman.

The space in between rushes you from marriage to divorce.

The space in between devours the precious hours with your children until you’re all alone. 

At a glance we think we can swim – but the space in between can swallow us up.

You can’t hit rock bottom on a sandy shore.  The deep blue is where you search your soul and learn those lessons.  What we find out if we are brave enough to weather the storm…

The space in between is where all the greatness of life really happens.

The space in between is not all troubled waters.

The space in between is where the abundance of life is found.

The space in between is where we find the meaning of our lives.

Keep kicking your feet and keep your head above water.  Let the water wash over you…enjoy the beauty of growth and change.  There is one place that is waiting for us to meet ourselves…

The space in between.

Precious TIME

PRECIOUS TIME King Henry VIII : [ Opening lines ] In these last days I’ve been thinking a great deal about loss. What loss, your grace, is to man most irrecoverable? Charles Brandon : His virtue. King Henry VIII : No, for by his actions, he may redeem his virtue. Charles Brandon : Then, his honor. King Henry VIII : No, for again he may find the means to recover it, even as a man recovers some fortune he has lost. Charles Brandon : Then I can’t say, Your Majesty. King Henry VIII : Time, your grace. Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed.   Do you ever have the feeling that you are being prepared for something (both good and bad)?  I do!  I get into these moods where I find myself pondering about things...precious things, like time.  I love those moments because I see things in a new light.  I find a new appreciation for all things.  My husband, my children, family, friends, birds, trees, freedom, air, my li...
