It came to me last week. About harmony, balance and authenticity. And I realised it was mostly about everything. What it is, is closing the gap.
Closing the gap between perception and reality. Closing the gap between wellness and disease. Closing the gap between beliefs and behaviours. Closing the gap between values and actions. Closing the gap between goals and achievements. Closing the gap between feelings and habits. Closing the gap between what you seek and the present moment.
And listening for the secret messages – the fragmented whispers and soul songs in between.
How do you close the gap?
Ah, such wise words, Julie. And beautiful images.
Yes, it is what it is.
I stop and I breathe. Or write in my journal. I try to remember to be here now. Here. Because there’s no gap in the right here. It simply IS. And that is so beautifully simple.
Thank you for this reminder.
Ah the gap, the only place that we can feel emotional pain and it’s not easy, no matter how simple. Like Sophie, I breathe, I look and see if there’s anything I haven’t done to make it different, and then I let go. Or do my best.
These are great pages with some of the hardest life lessons. Acceptance…
I often find breathing is just not enough. If I can I go outside and concentrate on feeling my feet on the earth, literally grounding myself it often helps me accept that which I can;t change no matter how much I would like to.
