There is a space between everything. If you celebrate Christmas, you probably are feeling the space between. I celebrated by hibernating this year, seeing no one but the Uber Eats Drivers. I am divorced and my kids are away with their dad this year for Christmas. There is an emptiness but also a Peacefulness and Joy that was not there 8 years ago when I got divorced. It is there now because I have built it from the ground up. I could have never imagined the loss I would feel not having my kids for Christmas every other year when I filed for divorce until I actually experienced it. I was talking to a student of mine after class yesterday that suffered a tremendous loss this Christmas. We have no idea what someone else is going through or what we will go through unless we actually experience it. We are not experts on anything but our own lives and we are forever students. Whether you lose someone through death or an end of a relationship like a break up or divorce or end of a friendship, there is a space left, and it takes time to fill. We cry, we talk, we do what we do and we find peace, we find joy, we Begin to Love our Lives with a new sense of realization of how fragile and sometimes short life can be. We find a Bigger Love, something that can only be experienced. We learn to Love the Space. Loss is something that is always there. If we are born, we have to die. If we Love Whole Heartedly in Love and Friendship, and it Ends, not Always, but Sometimes, there is a space.
We have the power to create our space, the space between. We can lead with our Heart that is All Good, All Love, All Light. No matter what we are going through in our lives, we can make this The Best Day Ever. Most of our Lives are not Perfect, but they are if we look at the Bigger Picture, that We are All One and We are All Love and Light.
