Valleys and plains
Oceans and lakes
Between fence boards
wrapped with ivy
green grass on the other side.
Between appointments to
clean my teeth
get my hair done
Between
events at work
phone ringing
tasks to be done
Gaps of time
great
small or
in between
like spaces between
words in a sentence
notes of music in a score
Filling silent spaces with
more appointments
more words
more sound
brings exhaustion from
frantic busyness
speaking fast, breathlessly
white noise
Fill them with
reading a book
taking a snooze
a stroll in sun or rain
or just listening to the
sound of myself
sounds of others
In the spaces between
words
actions
music
hurt
joy
there is much to learn.
"The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me."
~ Blaise Pascal

Beautiful play of fence and shadows. Where did you find the interesting Blaise Pascal quotation?
This is an incredibly late reply!! Just going through my comments and found this.
I suspect I found this Blaise Pascal quotation on the Goodreads site - or possibly Thinkexist. These are the places I find most of my quotations. So sorry it took so long for me to reply!
