091023 ~ musing about the spaces between and giving ourselves space...

Stop for a minute...

For real, give yourself the space of 60 seconds.  

Check-in with your breath, body, space that you are occupying and that surrounds you...

Late last week a friend, fellow dj (DJ Ricochet, Thursday mornings 7-9AM on wART), and dear human said something on the air that struck my heart...
Words of which were so powerful they imprinted my soul.
She spoke of giving herself the space to make mistakes and the space to figure things out... 
Having that sort of presence and awareness seems out of my grasp at this moment and seemingly most of my moments... 
But I am certain that grabbing a hold of it...
Knowing it...
Practicing... 
well... 
The healing salve it would be, would dissolve so much suffering my life...

I'm a 'big' human. 
Bombastic...
Boisterous... 
In your face... 
Heart on my sleeve...
Opinionated and unafraid to share them... 

But I am so much more than just that.  
So much more to me than that.  
And I fear in our world today we don't give the space to be able to see the depth of others - especially if there way of being triggers our insecurities... 

Been struggling today - fearing all that I bring to bear, my voice, my expression, which is from love...
Is a trigger, and others don't see my heart - which is most definitely a lion heart... 
In all the senses... 
Seemingly, including in the sense that a lion evokes fear 
But all I really want is to evoke love... 
Love - love - love

Well that is AGAIN where music comes in... 

It is so magically consistent in its timing...  MUSIC's messages 

Today - from darkness came the light of sound... these words: 

I’m just trying to find my place
Trying to find some empty space
Where I’m comfortable enough to say
The things I need to say…

Wanting all my words so perfect
Tryin to translate poetry
When I get tangled in expectations
I lose what makes me me

My garden is more than a single flower, learning how to
Grow alone in the ground…

When I feel like I’ll never find my way
Like the whole worlds turning upside down
All I need is to remember my belief
That I’m finding my own voicе
In the sound….of the spaces In bеtween

Ooh

Walking down the tight rope
Wondering which side will I sway
Feeling paralyzed by options
Trying to pick the perfect way 

Am I lost in the distraction
Or does this loneliness pay
In the seeds and in the seasons
Always changing along the way

My garden is more than, a single flower, learning how to
Grow alone in the ground…

When I feel like I’ll never find my way
Like the whole worlds turning upside down
All I need is to remember my belief
That I’m finding my own voice
In the sound….of the spaces In between

Ooh

When I feel like I’ll never find my way
Like the whole worlds turning upside down
All I need is to remember my belief
That I’m finding my own voice
In the sound….of the spaces In between

The spaces in between
The spaces in between

The Space In Between by Amanda Rheaume A Métis/Anishinaabe singer-songwriter.

The Métis (may-TEE(S); are an Indigenous people whose historical homelands includes Canada's three Prairie Provinces, as well as parts of British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Northwest Ontario and the Northern United States.

The Anishinaabe are a group of culturally related Indigenous peoples present in the Great Lakes region of Canada and the United States. They include the Ojibwe (including Saulteaux and Oji-Cree), Odawa, Potawatomi, Mississaugas, Nipissing and Algonquin peoples. The Anishinaabe speak Anishinaabemowin, or Anishinaabe languages that belong to the Algonquian language family.
