Pay attention to the spaces
In music, the space between the notes is what creates the melody. The beauty of a piece is formed in the pauses, the spaces in-between.
I’ve always been fascinated by these “spaces in-between” and have explored and written about them extensively in teaching (check out my book Getting Messy), art (check out my book Deep Knowing), and therapy.
When we allow ourselves to be pulled by something (when we follow a vision), even though we don’t know where it’s taking us, we open in-between spaces.
For example, when a work of art, performance, group space, lecture, or piece of writing doesn’t move me, I find myself saying, “It didn’t take me anywhere.”
It didn’t open a space “in-between.”
The spaces in-between are where we find healing, divine gifts, creative breakthroughs, and moments of evolutionary change.
