Acknowledging the Space Between

Last week, Jeanette and I had a discussion about dots that sprang up from a quote by Steve Jobs.  I posted it here on the site.

As most things are with me and life, I have been reflecting on what I wrote. The relevance of the dots, the connections, the meaning.

I have arrived to a place of space. Honoring the space. Acknowledging the space.

We need space. We have space between words to make meaning. Letters are together to form words and words come together with spaces in between to create sentences.

If there were no space, the words would be jumbled together and while we are able to read when sentences are written like this, the space provides the opportunity to make meaning.

The space in between provides meaning.

Space is essential. We need space.

We create space to make meaning.

We also need space to connect. We often feel space is a separator.

Maybe that is what our next discussion will be around. Space as a connector, rather than a separator.

Cultivating space. Giving myself permission to have space.

Meeting you here,
