It is a Zen approach to life to be aware of the space between things. Rather than focusing on the couch or the tree or the cars, we become aware of the space in between all these things. It is the spacious feeling in a room that makes it feel inviting. It is the spaciousness of nature – a vast horizon across the ocean, a clear blue sky, a flowing valley between mountains – that draws us in. Lately, I am going through each day noticing spaces in between. And it allows me to feel more spacious in myself – as if I have more time to get things done and more room to think clearly. So if I’m looking spaced out, I probably am!
