In-Between – VJs Weekly Challenge

The impasse is my own
a junction of life,
my path,
a familiar and worn shoe
now uncomfortable to wear
in some ways and yet,
well, not entirely so,
but all those yesterdays
completely true
though now, while
still with no regret
a Sense of why?
But it is what it is,
what it was as now,
I’ve always been in the in-between
yet never still.

Very deep. I take from this that sense that we are always in the in-between, our past and present, some of which we can shape, some of which just is. I think this is one to read again and again.

Thank you for sharing your response Heather, means a lot, and very much appreciated. Yes, we often think we’ve made it through something or are going in straight lines or have arrived, but we are always moving and changing and consequently in the in-between as I see it. Thank you.

I am reminded of something I learned while studying dream therapy at university – that the subconscious will prod us to continually change, search, as a way to progress towards wholeness and avoid complacency. Really like this piece, Paul. The image suits too.

Very interesting piece! 🙂 Many of us are like the cheese between the buns, (while we are also, knowingly or otherwise, the buns)! 🙂

I’ve long felt the in-between of restless soul syndrome. We must keep making our steps meaningful and trust we’re headed somewhere amazing. A wonderful topic to write about!

So agree Laura, to be intentional, and to be aware, notice the inner movements that drive the outer. Thank you for sharing your inner self.
