Birth and Death and Everything-In-Between...

There's Birth and Death...the two dates on the headstone.

And there's Everything-In-Between...the empty space between those two carved-in-stone dates.

And its the Everything-In-Between that really, really matters.

In-Between now and then…
In-Between here and there…

In-Between this and that…
In-Between more and less…
In-Between sickness and wellness…
In-Between presence and abandonment.

In-Between good and bad…
In-Between right and wrong…
In-Between peace and conflict…
In-Between joy and sorrow…

In-Between me and you…
In-Between yesterday and tomorrow.

In-Between there is ample time to let go of whatever is holding us back.

Ample time to stop hiding and pretending.

Ample time to to make amends.

Ample time to say what needs to be said.

In-Between there is enough 

time to do the thing we think we cannot do.

Enough time for a more honest relationship with ourselves.
..and also others.
Enough time to walk away from lies, and mind-games, and bullshit.
Enough time to express what we most deeply feel.

Enough time to make peace with our past.


Its the Everything-In-Between that really, really matters.

In-Between there is time to take a stand.

Time to act on our passion.

Time to break our silence.


Time to create the life we really desire.

Time to establish boundaries.

Time to stop saying we can’t.

Time to stop making excuses.


Time to think for ourselves, to follow our own path, to listen to our own heart.

Time to live our own life...a life no one else can live.


There's Birth and Death...
And there's Everything-In-Between...
And its the Everything-In-Between that really, really matters.
