Mind the Gap
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 lie 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!
Jiddu Krishnamurti calls this : Interval between the two thoughts!
If you watch carefully, you will see that
there is an interval between two thoughts;
thought it may be an infinitesimal fraction of a second
there is an interval that has the significance in the
swinging backward and forwards of the pendulum!
