Making Space

You can’t fill a cup if it’s already full

You can’t furnish a room if it’s already furnished

You can’t paint a master piece without a blank canvas

You can't be elsewhere, if you have fixed plans

Nor can you start a new endeavour, if you already have one.​​​​

There's no room for anything, if you’re already full -

If you’re holding on and can’t let go

If you’re clinging to what is and oblivious to what could be.

My point is

Space equals potential,

It’s only in the emptying, that you can be full

And only in giving that you can receive.

It’s only in clearing your calendar that new possibilities emerge
