The Spaces In-Between

At the end of the space, one of us would volunteer to be the look out and would be the first to dash across the bright green of the lawn to find the safety in the cover of the bushes in the distance. One by one we would each be signaled to make the same mad dash across the open field, till finally we would all be sitting together again.

Hearts pounding.
Laughing.
Eyes smiling.
Breathless.
Alive.
Free.

Life is like that when I choose for it to be.

Those moments when I stop listening to the voices of the majority that instruct me to stay in line, to stay within reach, to stay within the safety of what is known. When I step out in the adventure and the excitement of what lies ahead of me in that unknown space that exists in-between the here and the there that is delicately etched within the framework of a lifetime.

From the many paths I have traveled; with every step of uncertainty, every step of fear, every moment of doubt I have taken in this journey of my life. I now have a greater depth of understanding of the paths that lie ahead.

Moment by moment as I follow this voice within, it lovingly guides me from the safety of what I have known allowing me to discover how ultimately I am being led closer to myself … I am led back towards the person I truly am at the core of my being.

In those spaces that are dimly illuminated off the beaten path of life, I find myself much the way I was when I was little …

Heart pounding.
Laughing.
Eyes smiling.
Breathless.
Alive …

Free.
