Spaciousness Poem by Erin Cowart

Pay attention to the silence
The pause right before words are spoken
The future exists in that holy space

Pay attention to the pause
The second of stillness before you draw your next breath
Your life exists in the gratitude of that moment

Pay attention to the spaces
The brief breaks between action and non-action
Your soul hangs in the balance of that time

Do not be like the crowd
Running from one moment to the next
Without silence
Without pause
Without space
And missing the whole point of existence

Honor the silence
Praise the pause
Celebrate the space

They are your life
