Gaps are the spaces between things, actions, thoughts… and well, everything.

Here’s the problem: Gaps are empty and unknowable in the ordinary sense. There is nothing in a gap to lay our hands on. There is nothing to wrap our minds around. There’s nothing to hold onto. It’s pure emptiness.

But, this isn’t ordinary emptiness. This version of emptiness refers to an experience that is devoid of separateness, devoid of attachment, devoid of past and future, devoid of discursive thought.

It’s an empty space that’s actually filled to the brim with boundless potential.

So yeah, not really empty, just empty of stuff.

So here’s the point: the real reason we engage in spiritual practice is to open this gap a little wider.

It’s all about deepening and expanding our experience of the gap that rests between all thoughts, feelings and actions, because that’s where the magic is.

That’s where the shift happens instantaneously.

That’s where perception magically appears in a brand-new dress, spiky heels and goes out on the town… metaphorically.

Gives a whole new meaning to the catch phrase “Come into the Gap”… you know, the one from the store.
