After the weekend has wrapped… Before the week begins… Within this Thin Space we gather to see what there is to be found.
JC Lippold: What we'll do on Sunday nights is enter into the thin space. The weekend's pretty much done, y'all, but the week hasn't begun yet. It's within this thin space that if we can dive in, often we can find what there is to be found.
Marisa: With the change of seasons, there's a song that I think has something to hold for us. She invites you to consider where is your home, where is that space that allows you to feel as much of yourself as possible. What becomes possible within these thin spaces between good and bad?
Well, hey, everybody. m. Central Standard Time on Sunday evenings, I'm gonna hop on live on Cadre here for a little bit. So what we'll do on Sunday nights is enter into the thin space. So the Franciscans would always look for space in between light and dark, good and bad, beginnings and ends, day and night. So I think there's something really powerful about this time at the end of the weekend. The weekend's pretty much done, y'all, but the week hasn't begun yet. So what do we do within this time where we can't accomplish maybe the rest and recovery that is traditionally associated with a weekend?
But we can't start chomping at the bit yet of the week ahead. It's within this thin space that if we can dive in, if we can root into this moment, often we can find what there is to be found. So it's the beginning of fall, right? I'm in Minnesota, and the chilliness that we wait for has started to present. Hey, Marisa. How are you, my friend? It's nice to see you. So with this change of seasons, whether it's literally the change of the season or it begins to feel like the change of a season for you, there's a song here that I think has something to hold for us.
So I'll give it a sing, and then I'll talk about it for a moment and see if you have any thoughts, any questions. The flower bows to autumn's chill October river frozen still give way, give way. But the sparrow with its broken wing burrows down to wait for spring give way, give way. Sparrow, sparrow too afraid to fly sparrow, Sparrow too proud to try and he's oh, so far from home so this sparrow, this sparrow existing in a world that's ever changing this sparrow with a broken wing who maybe has been taught that if my wing is broken, my capacity to do the things that I'm supposed to do as a sparrow must be put on hold.
And the singer goes on to say that the sparrow burrows down for the fall and the winter and waits for spring to start again. And then it raises the point that maybe the sparrow is too proud. Maybe this Sparrow is giving way to the expectations that are put on this bird. The last line is that the sparrow is far from home. So within this thin space tonight, the weekend behind, the week ahead, I invite you to think about where is home. Hey. Speakwonder 580782 nice to see you. I invite you to consider where is your home, where is that space that allows you to feel as much of yourself as possible, as capable of doing the things that you love doing and that you're called to do.
So even if you have a broken wing like this sparrow in this song, you can root back into that place where you can go. You know what I may not be able to do what I was able to do, what I may want to do, what the world thinks I'm supposed to do. But the truth that we learn from that home space, the US that we see when we are in a space where we feel safe and seen and known, what becomes possible when we return to that home space home is where I have my journal and a pen. I love that. And the reason why I love that is so often home is not a space that we have to be very, very far away from, right?
It can be something that we can create for ourself. It can be something in here. It can be something in here. It can be on the screen porch or the proverbial screen porches in the world. So, number one, since this is our first thin space evening together, I'll always invite you to think about that. What becomes possible within these thin spaces between good and bad, beginnings and ends, light and dark, weekends and weeks, seasons and seasons, that through the powerful submission of reality. Like I say, we can't weekend anymore because it's behind us.
We can't start the week yet because it's in front of us. But within the power of the moment that we are in what becomes possible. So again, consider where home is for you as I bring this melody forefront again. Maybe this is a good time to close your eyes maybe this is a good time to grab your journal and a pen maybe this is a good time to go out on that screen porch. Maybe it's a good time to simply look on the inside as to where home is for you. And once you find it, just see what's possible. A flower bows to autumn's chill October river frozen still give way, give way but the sparrow with his broken wing burrows down to wait for spring give way, give way Sparrow, sparrow too afraid to fly sparrow, sparrow too proud to try and he's still so far from home so give way, give way to what's possible even if it is something less than, less than what you perceived less than what you are taught is enough flex the muscle of giving way to what is to what is here to what is here.
And most often, if you're struggling to find it, ask yourself, where is home? At home base, that grounding place, the place where, after you take a deep breath in home, is most often the easiest place to go and see what there is to be found. m. Central standard time. To go ahead and enter into that thin space, the space between what was and what will be, to see what there is to be found. Give way, friends. Speak wonder 580782 Chris J. Marisa, nice to see you. And for those of you who watch this at a later time, reach on out Cadre offers you some really nice resources.
But what a gift to have people to connect to with those resources and to see what gives way. Have a good night.
