From reading your blog, I suspect that your "white space" is similar to my "still point" -- perhaps meditation helps us get to both these places. And you are right, just a few minutes of sitting quietly can have enormous payback... Thank you, Tara.

I love the term "still point" and your beautiful description of your experience with it inspires us all to meditate. I had a few moments of it this morning...and oh its so rich. And I'm always amazed how just a few minutes of paying attention in meditation allows me to be much more awake to the present moment all day long. Warmly, Tara Really beautiful.

I just posted a link to this on my FB fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Deep-River-WithinAbby-Seixas/102394806771?ref=search&sid=710538841.489613500..1 I love your visceral description of taking a pause. I also thank you for writing the description from Joan King's 'cellular wisdom' re: the need for neurons to recharge. I've thought about it a lot since you first mentioned it, and since I heard her describe it. It's such a powerful metaphor for why we need to take "time-in." Thank you! -Abby Wonderful, Kat!
