Space. What It’s Good For.

by Megan on January 17, 2012

You plant the seed, and cordon off the area.  Then you wait.  It’s a difficult thing, to wait.  I don’t like it particularly.

Especially when I don’t know what’s going to sprout, or even if that was really a seed I planted, or just a little nub of false thinking in the shape of a seed.

Waiting rooms.  Ugh.

But you do what you have to do to grow yourself.  This takes waiting and patience.  I want to leap into every empty space and fill it with activities and emotions and general whirligiging.

But I also know, instinctually, that this will trample the new growth.  And I really want to grow.

So I’m taking a lot of space.  Attempting to meditate and color big swaths of time with nothing.

Can you take a few minutes each day to make space for the person you want to grow into?

        Hi, Megan,
        I hadn’t checked off the box to receive further comments, but I’m here again today because I wanted to link to this post–so I saw the comment, just now (but this of course doesn’t help you know if the comment thingy is working or not…sorry!).

    I definitely need to remind myself to do that. No matter how my day is going I need a few minutes to back away from my computer and just breathe. Thanks!
