Mind the Gap

 Mind the Gap

Martin Crowe


The gap between balls (bowled)

That 30-second time span between 

When the last ball became dead 

And the next ball comes alive 

Is arguably the most important period

In batsman’s innings


If we are to widen that out to life itself

We can begin to find that

our peace and creativity lies in

moments between thoughts and actions


When we can sit still or stand still

Even for 20 seconds

When we can hold-off urges to judge or overthink

We really open ourselves up to the Truth

For truth is in the present - not past or future!
