The space between events

Real life
is lived
in the spaces
between
events.
These gaps
are moments
to catch
breath
to rest
recuperate
reflect
like Mary
who
treasured up
all things
and pondered
them
in her heart.

Real life
is lived
in the spaces
between
events.
Times
to see
ourselves
acting on stage
and to
escape
the script
revealing
to the audience
the significance
of what
is happening
off stage.

Real life
is lived
in the spaces
between
events.
By watching
yourself
act
your part
you are
off-stage
while on-stage
revealing
unspoken
coincidences
round the corner
patterns
of liveliness.
