What will you do with the GAP this year? The space between your dreams and reality is like water over rock; you may overlook its power, but it can carve a canyon too deep to traverse.
Life doesn’t go according to plan—at least not our plan.
It will inspire change and empower some to make beauty out of ashes.
For others, the door stop will close them to what dreams lie on the other side of disappointment and grief.
For many of us, it will be a stop in despair and a slow ascent to overcome.
As many of us live this life, the defining truth will arise from how we handle the gap between what we want and what it is.
Love In The Space Between
Love cannot escape this truth; it is beauty, but it also leaves a gap between what we thought Love would be and what it is. Humanity tries to bend Love to fit its appetite, and Love is sacrificed in the offering.
Love swells in the gap to remind us that it is in the sharing that it calms the torn edges of our soul. Love expands to protect us from the elements; in the end, only Love takes us home. Real Love is the only Love that won’t leave your arms empty.
Real Love fills the gaps that fake Love and life create.
How will we respond to the gap this year?
I intend to see it filled with peace that my plan was never the one that would bring me peace in the first place. I embrace the losses with quiet gratefulness for what remains.
May you find peace in the gap in 2025- you deserve some of that stuff.
I know this is not the meaning behind the song The Space Between by Dave Matthews, but the truth is- it makes me think every time I hear it! Let me know if it does the same for you!
