Making Space

You can’t fill a cup if it’s already full

You can’t furnish a room if it’s already furnished

You can’t paint a master piece without a blank canvas

You can’t be elsewhere, if you have fixed plans

Nor can you start a new venture, if you already committed.

There’s no more room, if you’re holding on and can’t let go

If you’re clinging to what is and oblivious to what could be.

Space means potential,

It’s only in the emptying, that you can be full

And only in giving that you can receive.

If you want something to change,

You’re going to have to create some space

Don’t wait for it to be given to you, you need to claim it.

Because if you don’t, there just won’t be potential for anything else

And that’s a sure way of getting more of the same.
