The Thin Space

Hey, good morning, Cadre. Good early morning, Cadre. How are we doing? I hope you're doing swell. And if you're not, here's a good reminder. And I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. So this 17 word mantra, I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. Maybe something that feels good or feels challenging for you vis a bit speak wonder, it may challenge you to know that there are people around this world who are here to share time with you and space with you and idea with you and laughter and tear and struggle and clarity and all those things with you.

Carrie, Good morning. Good morning. So how is this morning going for you? Something that I really appreciate about the early times and the late times or you know, those days that maybe are less busy, less frenetic for everybody. So you can kind of find those little cracks in between. And I feel like Sunday mornings are often one of those cracks in between spaces. You know, my Sunday live streams are always from my Mazda as I'm heading to work, but especially this time of year. I don't think you'll be able to hear it, but I'm just going to be quiet for a second.

I love when, when you can hear spring, you know, whether it be, you know, the birds, whether it be the wind or the rain, there's something just very highly soluble, right? It just clicks and it's like, ha. That's a nice moment. On Sundays we talk about self care, right? And I most often talk about the idea of thin space. That space in between everything that has been and everything that will be and to provide tips and tactics and practicals and tactical ways to go ahead and do, to do that, to nuzzle into that space.

You know, I was driving down the road to get to this parking lot and the music going, there's things to look at, you know, the mind maybe wanders, yada, yada, yada. It's so easy to focus on. All right, where am I going? Especially when the road in front of you is so clear. I was in a two and a half hour Uber ride two days ago. We're literally for 13 miles, two and a half hours. You do the math. There wasn't a road open in front, so I spent the time looking back. But now that I'm in a car that's not going anywhere, I'm sitting here, I'm not expecting to get somewhere Right now, I'm with you.

It's amazing that in these moments I can become aware of what is Quite often when the road is open and shiny, we can look ahead. Often when the road is stuck and slow, we end up looking back when we're not even moving on the road, when we just go plop. So many more things become available. I can think past, I can think future if I want to. But in this moment of stillness, this is when you unlock the potential of the present. So for you today, I think the nice thing about Sundays is it is an in between space for a lot of the world.

So everybody is out of flow with each other. But the hard thing about Sunday is that the flow settles back in on Monday. Most people do something consistently on Mondays, so maybe it's a loving challenge, find those moments to sit in the middle of the road today and go, yeah, those birds have been singing to me all along, y' all. I will be back tomorrow morning with the one and only speak wonder at 7:30am And I cannot wait. Speak Wonder. We'll see you in the interview seat tomorrow. Everybody else, have a good one.
