My life is full of in-between times. What I do with the in-between times is the most crucial aspect of my life, for, without it, life is meaningless. The in between is ABOUT NOW.
In between reminds me of a good friend that I questioned: ” what do you do in between”? That is load full of questions that have so many meanings and can be answered in many ways. Surely, there is so much I can do in between. It is mostly waiting filled with wonders:
- waiting in line
- waiting for the next meal
- waiting for the next vacation
- waiting for the next paycheck
- waiting for the sun, moon, rain, snow
- waiting for faith, hope, charity, health, joy
- waiting for answers to my prayers, signs, and miracles
The list is long. While I wait, so much have happened or not happened, in between.
I just realized that my life is full of miracles from the day of my conception, birth, growing, adding years to my age until the time of my departure on earth is all in between times. During this time, I experienced plenty and filled with gratitude.
As I defined myself:
Servant of the Lord, first and foremost. Lover of all sentient beings. Maurice and Lucy are my cats. I plant my own garden to decorate my soul, nurtures and keeps me grounded. Hummingbird connects me to impressive wonders and makes me feel at home. I am a pilgrim on this earth.
So I created this space to share with you my “In Between Times.” It is a continuous series of:
- from one moment to the next,
- from one thought to the next,
- from one action to the next.
“People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. ~ St. Augustine of Hippo.”
“Often people demand a great deal from themselves and their lives and are despondent when reality does not measure up. Milton has long been understood as having offered consolation for this affliction, reminding us that we do not always have a say in the role that we play in the world and that sometimes we must learn to see the service we are giving when we are doing nothing but waiting.”
It feels wonderful to return to your blog after very long. Will catch-up now. Regards and best wishes 🙂
Hi, I’ve nominated you for a Liebster award, I hope you don’t mind. Here is the link to the nomination if you want to take a look: http://searchingforironman.com/2015/12/10/liebster-award/
Thank you.
This has been one of the more interesting “About” pages I’ve come across. You clearly put a lot of time and thought into what you want your blog to be, as well as identify how you view the world.
Thank you. It’s what I see on a daily basis and doing what I can do as I do the most mundane part of waiting in between.
I agree with Beauty Along the Road. This is a great about me page. I’m alway saying to people “in the mean time, in between time” I agree with you about waiting!
I can quite relate with the waiting part! Even I do wait for a miracle to happen!!
You are a miracle. This is a miracle for me to see your footprint in my site. Thank you.
We all are miracles, right?! 😀
Indeed!! _/\_
You are a blessing, your writing is a blessing.
And your Presence is also a Blessing. Merry Christmas.
waiting in line
Miami, Florida has become so over populated and congested. Yesterday it took me almost and hour and a half to get home from the doctor and it’s only 40 blocks away. I am going to move to a different part of the country.
Move? You are in God’s country. Find a doctor close to home.
Every portion of this post is lovely! Blessings on your day. 🙂
Thank you and your comment is a blessing for every one and any one that visits this site. Merry Christmas.!
