I’d like to give you a gift – the gift of time
It comes with the gift of space – two of the most valuable gifts you’ll ever receive
The gift of time is for you alone
It is a gift that allows you all the time you need and more
To process anything big or small that has happened to you
Coupled with the gift of space, you will have both the time to reflect and the space to feel anything that may rise to the surface
The gift of time can take place anywhere, whenever you have even a moment free to yourself
The gift of space should ideally be a space that is solely yours, a space of solitude
For it is only with these two gifts that we can truly be ourselves, that we can show up exactly as we are
Please accept my gifts, and tuck them away somewhere special
And when the occasion presents itself slowly unwrap these gifts, savouring each moment
Return to these gifts as needed, make them into something sacred, something just for you
And if you feel like it, share bits and pieces of the reflections you’ve discovered using your time and space
Let a loved one in
For when time and space are shared, they turn into a shared experience
And is there anything in the entire world that is better than that?
