A host reflects on the idea of the Thin Space — the quiet days between December 25 and January 1 — and invites listeners to notice and name memories from that in-between time as a form of self-care and reflection.
Cadre: How's the morning where you are? I hope it is lovely. If it's not lovely and if you're not great, guess what? That is all right. Sundays, what do we talk about? We talk about things you can do for your own self care.
The Thin Space is that time in between stuff. What is your favorite memory of all time between the two kind of loud holidays in the United States right between December 25th and January 1st?
Hey, good morning, Cadre. It is a gloomy morning where I am. How's the morning where you are? I hope it is lovely. I hope you're doing great. But if it's not lovely and if you're not great, guess what? That is all right, too. Sundays, what do we talk about? We talk about things you can do for your own self care and preservation and potency of life. All of these things. And I get to kick it off. You know, if you've ever looked at the title of this live stream that kicks off Sunday, it says the Thin Space.
And sometimes it's really easy to go, I know what the thin space is. And other times it's like, well, what's the thin space in this moment? Well, I have a question for you, and that question is this. What is your favorite memory of all time between the two kind of loud holidays in the United states right between December 25th and January 1st? I'll use those, since they're a week apart. Always a week apart. What's your biggest memory from in between those two days? You know, I was thinking about it this morning.
I can think of a lot of things that happen on the December 24, December 25. I can think of a lot of things that happened December 31st and January 1st. But those lovely days, December 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, I can't think of anything. You know, I've only been around for 42 years, but I can't think of a darn memory from those days in my life. And that's a really great example about, A, the importance of the thin space and B, when the thin space is right. So what is the thin space? The thin space is that time in between stuff.
In between the good stuff and the bad stuff, in between the busy and the not busy, in between the beginnings and the ends, or the ends and the beginnings in between everything that has been and everything that will be. So if you exist.
