Spaces are very important.

Spaces - their quietness, their whiteness, the freedom they give you to be what you are.

Spaces that let feel your breath and hear your heart beat.

Spaces when all the confusion of life and relationships smoothes out into neat understanding and acceptance. Making sense of it all, like the pauses in a sentence.

Spaces,comfortable and beautiful in their emptiness blending all the cacophony and all the varying shades into a quiet harmony.

Spaces where you meet yourself in an honest encounter and become who you are.

Spaces,short spans of time and moments for eternity.

Spaces, empty and serene - so destressing and so full of meaning.

Spaces without which you could lose yourself in the stampede and suffocation.

Spaes, that are "the breath of art" and of all life.

    ya spaces are good - in relationships as in sentences. Too much togetherness is what is making people blind to reality. Give some space, step back and see it for what it is. Remember Gibran?
    "let there be spaces in your togetherness,
    And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
    Love one another but make not a bond of love:
    Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."

    wow...frankly, when i wrote this, I did not expect anyone to relate to this as I did not talk about the context. It is so wonderful to be understood without having to elaborate.
    Thanks all of you

    Usha,
    Abstraction is a wonderful thing. Things that cannot be explained by the often unnoticed inadequacies of a mortal reality can be explained through an abstraction... and "spaces" as used in this post is a classic example of that...

    A little abstraction sometimes makes a point clearer than reams of lines trying to explain it...


  9. Usha,

    That was such an amazing post!

    Love,
    Vaish

    And I am so afraid of the blank spaces really.
