"between" is defined as: in the space or period separating two objects or points in time...
so...we are between. we are between heaven and earth. we are between the past and the future. we are between where we once were and where we are going. the between is the most important part of all life, because it's in the between where we exist, when we are living. life's a gift, it's a present to be present in the present. the between is here, the between is now. we are between...
and anytime we look up to the stars, we become the conduit between the terrestrial and the celestial...with our body, our thoughts, our soul, with all we are, we are the connection. we are between earth and heaven, here we are, the bond linking the rocks to the stars...
and when i look up, gazing deeply into the milky way in the night sky, deep thoughts pierce my mind and soul simultaneously...we are all so small, the finite of life, occupying so little time and space when compared to the vast infinity of the universe. but we are important, we are between it all, without us there is no connection, because it's us and our capacity to love that's bridging mother earth to father time...we are connecting the void to the living...
so remember...when you feel like you are between here and there, lost in the night, and confused in those spaces between joy and blues, simply walk outside into the night and look up, let go of that weight holding you down, let your spirit float, just breath, and feel the love connecting you to both heaven and earth. you are between it all, you are important for no other reason than you are you, and you are bridging the celestial to the terrestrial...

i was so close to naming this image "joy and blues" because of how the stars give me joy, but sometimes my life on earth gives my the blues, much like the blue waters symbolic of my tears that's pictured here...feel the song, and listen to these lyrics and you will be able to connect this tune to my impression today...a song sung boldly my favorite reggae artist, ziggy marley, achieving a profound meaning very dear to my heart: "joy and blues" by ziggy marley
"joy and blues...here we are in this ocean between life and death and truth and lie, between rich and poor and sick and cure, between joy and blues (joy and blues)...here we are in this ocean between light a day and dark a night, between nature and destruction, between joy and blues (joy and blues)...choose well and make sure you don't lose. do what you gotta do, 'cause if it's money you put down, it's only money you could lose. choose well and make sure you don't lose. pick your choice, choose well, 'cause when your life is on the line, it's only life you can lose. alright, we have the potion to clear all evil notion, putting these words in motion...i refuse to give joy to blues. tell me why should we live between joy and blues. choose well and make sure you don't lose, do what you gotta do, 'cause if it's money you put down, it's only money you could lose. choose well and make sure you don't lose, pick your choice, choose well, 'cause when your life is on the line, it's only life you can lose...joy and blues...here we are in the big blue sea between faith and trust and hypocrisy, between wants and needs, between joy and blues. here we are in this ocean between fantasy and destiny, between quality and quantity, between joy and blues, between joy and blues, between joy and blues, between joy and blues...choose well and make sure you don't lose, do what you gotta do, 'cause if a money you put down, it's only money you could lose. just choose well and make sure you don't lose. pick your choice, choose well, 'cause when your life is on the line, your life is on the line. your life is on the line, only life you can lose...choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose, choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose" ― ziggy marley, joy and blues
"my doggie and i are all alone together, under the stars and the flowing milky way, bridging the space between the celestial and the terrestrial on a shoreline of endless cobblestone with no civilization around for miles and miles...immersion in the eloquence and silence of a remote location in california, which is still unexploited, unspoiled, and wild...life is good" ― bodhinku, immersion
