The in-between

There are times when one is at the end of one thing, having not begun the next. There is an ending, but perhaps there are still things to finish before the new takes root. Being in that between place.

And, it might be an opportunity to take a deep pause. Not to fall back into some busy thing-to-do.

What would it feel like just to sit between - be, the between?

I imagine a little challenging. For when we are accustomed to business, busy-ness - the stance of stillness may even feel wrong.

Yet, the deep pause has many gifts.

A time to harvest the joys and pains of that past era - to mull over what has been and gone. To give gratitude for all the people, places and experiences that have deeply shaped you throughout that now done thing.

Even more, stillness and silence have the potent possibility of speaking deeper truth to your still body and quite mind. Turning your attention to mystery just for a few days, or weeks if your finances allow - may birth the very things your soul is now longing for.

The risk of not taking the in-between pause may be to miss the very natural opportunity for profound change that every human at some level longs for.

Permission thus granted to rest back into this short lived empty space:

Listen

Feel

Sit still

and notice what comes.
