The Space Between

In the song, “The space between,” by the Dave Matthews Band are the following lyrics:

The Space Between
What’s wrong and right
Is where you’ll find me hiding, waiting for you.

Interesting concept, there is a space that isn’t right or wrong?  Is there such a place or “space”?  In science we’re taught about experimental results compared to being in a vacuum.  The vacuum is where the conditions are perfect.  We also use the phrase, “All things being equal”.  There is said to be a Zen proverb regarding music stating, “It’s the silence between the notes that makes the music”.

All these concepts come to that one thought of void, a space that is the “No-thing-ness”, to quote Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith.

The 13th century, Persian poet, Sufi mystic, Rumi, whose words transcend time, wrote:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.

In the Dave Matthews band version, there is a tone of wrongness and rightness, however, in Rumi’s poem its equality.

This field, this silence, this space, this vacuum, this No-thing-ness is the I AM presence, the Oneness, the embodiment of Allness. 

Today, when encountering others, look for that space between, step into that awareness of what it feels like to not have to be right or wrong.
