The longer I live the more I see the power and the easily missed importance of the spaces in between.  The moments experienced between the exhale and the inhale.  The time on the way to somewhere when it seems like nothing is happening.  The space between people or objects. The path in between the two choices. These are all examples of power in the midst. Our minds do not value them though we benefit from them whether we are aware of the value of being in the midst. The midst speaks the language of our hearts which echoes the need for there to be a between.  A pause happens in the midst.  A moment to gather oneself happens in the midst.  A point of insight comes in the midst of doing something else.  When we slow down long enough to hear and feel the power of what happens in the midst we learn to appreciate it.  The midst is like the music in between the notes.  God whispers to us in the midst.  We find ourselves simply being in the midst.  At a time when many people are being asked to slow down, it may feel like we are only in the midst.  We may have spent a fair amount of time resisting it and feeling like it was purposeless.  Maybe it is about taking the midst as an opportunity to become reacquainted with how our hearts can navigate us in the midst.  Navigate us to get to know more of the truth of who we are.  Then when we are called to be more active we will respond from the midst of our hearts alongside the intention of our minds.
