the space

“Beware the barrenness of a busy life,” said Socrates.

We can be so busy in life that we don’t even know what we’re busy with. 

The busier we become, the less time for enjoyment and reflection.

It’s the space between the things we do that gives pleasure to them. 

As the French composer Claude Debussy shared, “It’s the silence between the notes, that holds the keys to music.”
