Solar sails are particularly well-suited to small, low-cost spacecraft limited by a lack of propulsion options. They can reach unique destinations that are difficult or impossible to access with traditional rockets, and may be our best option for visiting other star systems. Thank you so much for such a meaniful message Gail…I know I can be a handful.Solar sails are spacecraft that use large, thin sails to reflect sunlight, giving them a gentle push and unlimited fuel.
#SAIL THE SPACE IN BETWEEN MOVIE#
I cannot help but understand the significance of Daigo finding the smooth stone in his dead father’s hand in the movie Departures.īut, once I’m gone let it be said “He lived with Passion.” I cannot help but remember taking off my dead sister’s wedding ring from her finger. The theater muse ring that I found that day of your post with the actor? It is a delicate balance to determine on which objects with meaningful symbolism to hold onto: I completely understand your Glass Menagerie message. When we work in concert with these intangibles the job gets done and no one gets hurt…this is not “being in the flow”…that will get someone hurt…just like “have no fear” will. “But it is filled with formless intangibles – joy, love, freedom, generosity, kindness.” Last Saturday when my fellow stagehands and I took out the five Big Rig event at the Sports Arena our navigating with and around objects was really something…a 20+ Big Rig concert like U2 …well yes the “empty space in between” does really come into play there. This is the power that I used when I competed for first place against the best during 50 miles of running. I discovered the power of the space in-between to open the door to so much happiness.” “It was a lightbulb moment, as I saw that even positive thoughts were subtly stressful. What have you discovered about the spaces in-between? What keeps you from going there? Let’s talk… The spaces in-between hold all the possibility. Letting go of what we know, allowing ourselves to hang between the trapeze bars.īut how else to open to wonder, creativity, life? But it is filled with formless intangibles – joy, love, freedom, generosity, kindness. He is surprised at how he is naturally kinder – in his interactions, while driving. He is seeing through the objects of his mind and discovering space overflowing with love. He cannot contain the love that is emerging. I recently spoke with a friend who is cracking open so beautifully. We accept “good enough,” while turning away from everything we truly long for.Īs Eckhart Tolle says, we are constantly chasing forms by thinking, doing, and reacting against.Īnd in every moment, there is space – breathing space, quiet and clear. We choose tension over relaxation, habit over potential. We live in the boxes (cages?) we have constructed and avoid the possibility of wide open space. We are scared to let them go because the known feels so much safer than the unknown.īut staying in the known is ultimately confining. Whether thoughts or people, money or stuff, we have the illusion that if we keep our attention on these, then we can control them. Of course, it’s fear that keeps us clinging to our treasured objects. The space is here, in this right-now moment. Try relaxing your attention away from the forms, just for a moment. What forms fill your awareness? Can you notice the space in-between? No matter how much we are filled with forms, space is always present. I discovered the power of the space in-between to open the door to so much happiness. It was a lightbulb moment, as I saw that even positive thoughts were subtly stressful.

I saw that the effort of thinking created tension and effortlessness was relaxing. I switched back and forth a few times, between thought and no-thought. As a thought arose, I moved my attention into it and felt tension in my body. Several years ago, I was lying on a chaise lounge, enjoying the sun. Physical forms and thought forms pull us away from our center, away from the stillness, the ground of being. It takes effort to engage with the objects that draw our attention. We move our attention away from the busyness of our lives, we pause from all the efforting, we move from doing to being. But eventually, the thoughts settle, and you recognize space, the ground of being from which everything else arises. If you sit in meditation, you might first notice a flurry of thoughts, and no space. Quiet, silent, existing, huge, not needing anything. But notice how much space there is between the objects. See how the environment you are in right now is filled with space? Your attention is undoubtedly drawn to the objects in it – a table, a pen. There is space between thoughts, between breaths, between all things.

Even if we don’t notice, there are spaces in-between everything.
