Hello,
My name's Ian Tucker.
Welcome.
However busy your day has been.
Perhaps you're just starting or it's coming to an end.
I'm going to invite you to pause with me here.
Just for a few seconds.
To simply be,
To give yourself this time.
There's a line that I love.
In music.
It's the space between the notes that truly makes the difference.
Otherwise,
It's just one.
Continuous noise.
How often do you and I go through a day,
A week,
A month?
Without noticing the space between the notes.
Wrapped up in the noise.
The next text,
The next email,
The next scroll.
The next interaction.
Adding to the to-do list.
We don't even notice the space between the words on the to-do list.
Life never stops.
But I've come to know that balance is the key to all things in life.
So I'm going to invite you to remember the line.
It's the space between the notes that truly makes the music.
Don't get wrapped up in the noise.
The pause can be an interaction with another.
A moment in silence.
Noticing the smile of a toddler in a supermarket queue.
A flower.
Anything that reminds you that you're here.
That you can stop and rest.
Even if just for a moment.
And you deserve that.
Until next time.
I wish you well.
