There is a special place in this world, and it does not cost any money to go.

In this place, we see both light and dark. We are vast like the ocean and as turbulent as its storms. The unknown is a friend here and time never runs out.

In this place, we are in-between.

In-between our past and our future. Our present moment and the next. 

In-between a high and a low. An “I don't know” and an “oh, maybe this”.

In-between a tear and a cry. Death and then rebirth.

But note that this is a special place, not an exclusive place; the in-between is as real as the air we breathe, the gravity that anchors us, and love itself.

Close your eyes, go into your body, and take a few deep breaths…

Then, open your eyes.

The sun hits your walls differently at 4 pm every day.

Can you see the in-between?

There is a reassuring silence holding your pain and fears.

Can you feel the in-between?

Something has not come yet, and nothing is still here.

Can you trust the in-between?

Will you go to this special place—where everything is revered?
