Into Empty Space

19/3/2015

0 Comments

 
All month I’ve been wondering to myself about my blind spots and unexplored territories, which can yawn as wide as a canyon, as wide as the sea.  It’s funny that these great gaps in awareness are often the result of me putting a real squeeze on things: I can leave so little space for others, for myself, and even for the world to unroll in its way.  I forget to even ask, "What's it like in your shoes?"  I forget that I don't know what I don't know.  I forget that I usually don't go where I usually don't go.  Yet from my unwillingness to freely give space comes... wouldn't you know it... open spaces of unknowing.  New spaces.  Cool.  As usual, I find that Gabrielle Roth, 5Rhythms creator, had a perfect and motivating way of expressing this: “What will I find on the other side of all I know?”

The other side of all I know - the empty space - is where I’d like to point my ship's compass.  I don't know what's there but I know it's a good place to go.  Once I’ve raised the sails, I’ll let go of the wheel and see where the wind blows.
