Resting in the Gap

14 min

Between one thought ending and the next beginning, there is a small clearing of quiet. Rather than trying to stop the mind, rest in the pause each finished thought leaves behind, noticing the urge to rush onwards without answering it. Even brief gaps can reveal a stillness that was present beneath the thinking all along.

Clear, grounding, light

Clear and grounding, present without weight — a few minutes to come back to the breath and carry on steadier.
