Space

All around us we are surrounded. What makes us stand apart is not ourselves, but the space between each thing.

Everywhere there is room. There is breathing room, there is time.

All around us always there is an impalpable space.

The space is there for a reason.

To let things flow freely, to move easily, to prosper, providing room to expand and grow.

There is space within each of us. But it is not a physical space. It is the space of being. The open ground from which we can build our lives. There is space and time and room to grow.

To space we belong, to space we will return.

We are formed and formless at one time. The two are not opposite. The two do not divide as oil and water, but become one, we only need to see it as one.

We are form and formless together and the space that is involved in our lives allows us to see that all is one.

How else can I describe it? There is nothingness around us, at the same time that everything is around us. The nothingness is there for a reason. For us to see that the room and air we interact with has more meaning in our lives than the forms that we interact with on a daily basis.

The room is there for a reason. The space is there for a reason.

We want more space, we want more room. More room to grow. More space to expand into.

A horizon is a glimpse at the two becoming one. We see the division of the earth and the sky and think of it as two different things meeting. Allow it be one. The horizon is one thing, not two. The space meeting the earth is one thing not two.

Similarly, our bodies and our being, our essence, are one thing not two. Add to that our mind, and we have one thing, not three.

How one plus one plus one equals one.

The space we experience around has been placed in our lives for a reason. Do not let the space go unnoticed.

Do not think that the space is just what isn’t. The space allows what is to be.

Take this space and allow yourself to be.
