the white space

the white space

the Silence

in the edges:

an introduction
to further exploration;

deference to that place
of bliss-full ignorance;

a demonstration
of great humility;

a re-minder that
you
are not
exactly
like me;

the space to
debate,
deliberate,
contemplate,
re-evaluate
assumptions long made;

liminal space,
that white space
dwelling
seemingly innocently
in the unchartered edges.

humanity


.
why are we
in such a hurry –
always –
to leave,
to fix,
to judge,
to eat,
to “live”?
.
what is the origin
of the discomfort
to truly lean in,
to listen,
to stay,
to sit,
to be Still
in commUnity?
.
Alas, the contradictions
of a splintered humanity –
we say we crave
companionship,
that we are
profoundly lonely,
yet we tend to
scatter soon after we Gather.
we seem to be able
to contain only so much
life,
love,
time,
energy,
words,
presence,
silence.
.
why?
