The Elusive Gap

Something to do, somewhere to go, something to worry about, something now, something then, something tomorrow, something near, something far away, something someone else said, did, or didn’t do, something, there’s always something

Something to feel guilty about, something to feel concern about, someone to please, someone to be responsible for, something to react to, something…..

There’s always something

Something to read, something to tidy, something to give, something to buy, something to see, something to be addicted to, something to plan, something to make, something

There’s always something

Something crowding in, something taking away the space of being

Something there to soothe the thing that’s a worry

Something stressful to focus on instead of the actual thing that needs dealing with

A pressure, a twist, a turn, a plan, a dream, an ambition..

Something…

What if there was a gap in the something, the elusive gap

A gap in the cultural programming

A gap in the emotional state

A gap in the responsibility

A gap that you and I make

A gap to breathe, slow

A gap to notice the pace of the things and decide not to be on that pace

A gap in which the inner voice can be heard

A gap in the moment, a gap in the mind

A gap to notice that you notice the inner voice, and that this is not you, just your voice

A gap to listen

A gap to feel the present moment

The present you

Where no thing else matters but you, inner you

Human you, conscious you, alive you

Can you hear the gap calling?

The voice from the deep, screaming, making itself known to you, wanting space

Wanting the gap

The gap between, the Elusive gap

Thats the power you and I have

The power of the now moment

The time is now, yes now.

A brilliant resource on this, on becoming more aware of your consciousness is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, Im also just reading his follow up – A New Earth.
