The Moments Between

Nov 2nd, 2008 by Liz Bennefeld

I look at “the moments between” in several different ways. First, almost everything I do is accomplished in the moments between “necessary” activities of daily living. During the moments between, more than at any other time, creativity takes place. On a larger scale, however, these are the moments between birth and eternity, the only moments we have before time itself becomes meaningless. 

All moments are meant to be put to good purpose.

    I’m so glad we reconnected! Thanks for keeping the faith and checking in every now and then. I really love this post, by the way. I’m going to be more mindful of those moments in between (when I can reflect instead of react!).

    Me, too! I’m glad you left the note at LJ. And I’m glad you like this post particularly. I am trying to live in a more “aware” (?) mode. Listening for and to that of God within me and leaving room in my life to be called, if that makes any sense.

    Read your “half day” post. Is funny! I feel the same way about my half day, each week. Is Wednesday, and even though I take the afternoon off, I find myself not wanting to book any appointments during the morning, either. A lot like your students. :)
