“Between stimulus and response, there is space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom“. -Viktor E. Frankl
When I first read these lines several years ago, I was deeply intrigued. It became my ultimate goal to discover this “space” for myself. I was curious, was this the “inner-space” that was often referenced in new age talks and books? Where did it exist? did it have a form, a boundary? Who lived there? was it magic? was it inside me? outside? So many questions. As I still look for answers, I did find an inward-facing path, with space, and a beautiful garden with infinite ground to sow seeds of peace, kindness and joy.
