LISTENING TO THE IN-BETWEEN

There are days when nothing dramatic happens.


No big decisions, no milestones, no clear endings or beginnings.


Just moments stitched together quietly; breath, work, pauses, thoughts…thoughts…and more thoughts….drifting in and out.


Today felt like that.


After days filled with movement, emotions, writing, teaching, remembering, I found myself simply being


Sitting with unfinished tasks, choosing not to rush. 


Letting the body speak; a little tired, a little sore yet a little grateful. Letting the mind wander without demanding answers.


I noticed how easy it is to feel torn in between what I want to do and what I need to do. Between passion and responsibility. Between the mat and the desk. And instead of judging that tension, I just watched it.


Vipassana taught me this; not to label every moment as productive or wasted, good or bad BUT to notice it as it is. 


Even indecision has a texture. Even rest has weight. Even choosing “not now” is a form of clarity.


Tonight, there was work (lots of ‘em) then a pause, a screen glowing softly in the background and a quiet sense of relief in allowing myself to slow down. 


No guilt. No proving. Just acknowledging where I am.


Some days, growth doesn’t look like effort. It looks like listening.


And today, listening was enough……
