The In Between

Finding the in between is hard. It is not numbing yourself nor is it settling for less or just "good enough." It is figuring out how to dish out the passion that you feel. Using it in doses. To make sure there is enough to go around. Sometimes you have to conjure the passion for things that don't make you light up. You have to find those things that make you just explode with excitement within the things that you dread. Even the painful less joyous situations build upon our character and our infrastructure, who we are. To find the in between is to have a smoother ride. To feel serenity, peace and most of all grace with where you are in life and who you are becoming. Finding the in between is not "somebody" or "something," it is a state of mind. It is not tangible in the same sense that you can touch it, taste or smell it, but you can hear it. It is that quietness that engulfs you. That is so powerful you cannot help but recognize that you have found "the secret". When you can smile in the dark, when there are no external sounds, distractions, it is just you. It is when your spirit and your physical being are meeting once again. You realize at these moments that your energy, your appetite for fulfillment is strong, it makes you feel indestructible. At these times you remember that your passion comes from an unlimited source. It's more a matter of knowing how to recharge. It isn't as easy as plugging in, and unfortunately no one has the answer except you. The in between is dynamic. A search for stability and change, comfort and freshness. The road is well weathered, it is never easy but it is unimaginably satisfying and worth it all. Share your in between, it has a gravitational pull of its own.
