This weekend though, there were two ideal days in a row to think and begin to answer those questions for myself. I belong to an exciting community of women, Cosmis Cowgirls, and during September have participated in their Creativity Camp. It is a synergistic group that provides daily prompts and support. Sunday the prompt was basically the space between the lines...the blank spaces on the canvas...the pause in the music...the spaces "in between" in my life.
The effect was amazing! My day was quiet, peaceful, slow and really lovely as I noted the spaces that I usually rush through. I welcomed the blank spaces...did not fill every moment with frantic rushing and doing. The results were amazing.
The Space In Between
It is a magical place this "no" place
I have often missed it
Rushing and crashing through my days
Robs me of time
When I pause
I notice
The blue jay only a few feet away
Wrestling with a Pinion cone
extracting it's sweet treat
The sweet, melodic song of the finch
The Red Winged Symphony
The bee - busy gathering
The chicadee
retrieving seeds from the
long legged, swaying sunflower
The pink dance of the cosmos
The purple trumpet of the morning glory
The deep crimson bouganvilla reaching quietly to the sky
The way the sun plays throught the juniper
making lace on my page
the gentle caress and comfort of the breeze
on cheek and shoulder
Space expands
Deeps feelings of gratitude overcome me
Beauty reveals itself
in those spaces in between.
