The Thin Space

Well, hey, good early morning there Cadre. How are we doing today? I hope you're doing great. You can hear the waves hitting the shore on the Thames river here in London, where I am for the next couple of days. I'm glad I'm here like in the Cadre sphere and I'm glad you're here in the Cadre sphere. I'm also glad I'm in London. It's a beautiful city, it's one of my faves and I know what I know and I care about you. I'll say it again like a, like a broken record. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here.

I know what I know and I care about you. I think that's the formula for the connection that we find here every day in the Cadre sphere. On Sundays we often talk about self care, right? Maybe in the traditional week. Sunday is the. Is the last soft day before we get back into the hard of the work and the grind. So what a perfect day to consider ways that you can fortify yourself to do the things that you feel called to do. I always talk about thin space on Sunday mornings, normally in about 90 minutes.

But with the time change, this works better. So if you're watching this in replay, happy. 8:00am Central Standard Time, everybody. The thin space is that space between everything that has been and everything that will be. It's a practice developed by Franciscan monks and they would find this space between morning and night, between good and bad, between seasons, between loud and soft. And they would nuzzle into this space in between and they would call it the thinspace. And there they would find the opportunity to pray and to meditate and to think and to write and to feel and to process.

I'll tell you, whenever I'm out of town, I'm based in Minneapolis. Whenever I'm anywhere but Minneapolis, I always find myself wanting to do my live streams. My Cadre todays outside. Yet when I'm home normally on Sunday mornings, where am I? I'm sitting in my Mazda in a gas parking lot and I'm thinking about that this morning. Why do I feel called to be outside when I'm somewhere not familiar? I think it's because finding the space in between everything that has been and everything that will be often invites us to get out of our mind a little bit.

There's no better way to get out of your mind and to be in the midst of the world that you're in. So my invitation today is if you're attempting to find the thin space if you're attempting to be where you are with what you have, and honor that. What if today. What if today you went outside and you became aware of the sound of the waves, the movement of the clouds, voices of those people around you? Maybe you'll find it there, y' all. Find what you need to find in the Cadre sphere, whether it's joining a community, and all you have to do is click join.

If a topic or a person interests you, you can join a community today and leave it tomorrow. Just like life, just like the clouds in the sky. Invite us to move and shift. Those communities are there to help you go. This is what I'm craving. This is what I'm needing. These are the voices that are speaking to me. Find what you need to find today, y' all. I'll be back tomorrow. Have a good one.
