The Magic of Space

Hello Lovelies,

As I sat down to write this note to you a fun story came to mind.

Uncharacteristically, a dear six year old friend of ours didn’t have much to say about his first day of first grade. By all indications nothing very impressive happened that day.  But later that evening, with the solemn astonishment of someone who had just discovered confidential, earth-shattering information, he asked his parents, “Hey, guys…. Do you know about SPACE?…”    Ahhhh, the innocent magic of a first astronomy lesson!

Looking at the night sky always captivates and mystifies me.  To grok the immensity of our universe, or even more boggling, the multiverse, is impossible.

Lately I’ve had quite a few stargazing nights.  And quite a few afternoons under the canopy of tropical trees. I’ve had some luscious experiences that make me want to whisper seductively into your ears, “Hey beloved…Do you know about SPACE?…”    And I’m not just talking about that starry space.  I’m talking about the space between the words on this page. The space between my fingers as I type. The space between the inhale and exhale of a breath.

As I’ve been playing with “noticing space” I’ve been having rich experiences and inspiring insights.  Below is a guideline for the practice I’ve been exploring.  Try this for yourself.  I’d be curious to hear how space has it’s way with you.

With spacious love,
Sharon

Noticing Space

Throughout your day stop and notice space…

Notice the space between your breaths.

Notice the space between words that are being spoken to you.
Or between the words on this page.
Notice the space in the room
… the space between activities
… the space in a half full glass
… the space between clutter
… the space between people
… the space between your fingers and toes
… the space in your mouth
… the space between rain drops

You get the idea …
Turn up your curiosity and your creativity.
