the space between

between the next to-do list

between the piles of books next to your bed

between the chores and the logistics - 

the repetitive duties of the day

between the emails and the phone calls - 

the required communication that drains you

between the dreams and the wish lists - 

the desires that intoxicate you

between the tabs of bookmarked websites -

the endless information and content that buries you

between the what's next and the what's now...

is the space.

the space is quiet, restorative

the space is empty

it can cause anxiety and despair because of its depth and breadth

it can bring on insecurities and doubts

it is the discomfort of the unknown

but what it brings is peace

a chance to recharge and reflect

a place to grow

the space to stop your brain from panicking

and start thinking

the space to stop festering and floundering

and start growing

between today and tomorrow

I challenge you to find the space

between your expectations and your obligations

I challenge you to find freedom
