Dancing the Gaps

“The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.”
_Albert Einstein

Life sometimes feels as if we move from one story to the next, like episodes in the unfolding drama called “My Life”. In the rush, we barely notice the quiet spaces that lie between stories. These almost invisible pauses are where choice resides and, when we miss them, habit takes over and it can feel as though things “must” be the way they are.

 

True choice lives in these gaps, much like in dance where one movement flows into another and we forget the magical point where all possibilities open. This gap is a delicate field.  It is not empty, but spreads out like a sea of potential when we pause, breathe, and bring awareness into it. As in life, our dance becomes an act of conscious creation rather than unconscious momentum.

 

When we learn to sense and feel these subtle spaces, we begin to sense the quiet intervals between our own stories. We stop being driven by them and start moving from a deeper intuition, trusting the wisdom of the body. In these gentle pauses, we reconnect with our power to shape the dances life and of our becoming.
