In
Glastonbury, the Land of Betwixt and Between is always near.
On
the retreat, we explored the Land of Betwixt and Between
as a place of inspiration.
You can travel there, too!

The
place of betwixt and between is
the
magic, the mystery,
the essence of creativity
when nothing
is what
it seems
and everything
is possible.
The
time of betwixt and between is
the waxing of the moon becoming
the waning of the moon becoming
the waxing
of the moon.
Appearing full for three nights,
absolute fullness is only
a moment,
then passes into
the land of betwixt and between.
What
else is betwixt and between?
Fog, mist, clouds and all that is elusive,
wandering,
shapeless,
shifting from something, disappearing into nothing
as
elusive as creativity itself.
Like
dawn and dusk, it appears, fills us and is gone
without a trace.
Where
else is the betwixt and between?
The
water's edge
betwixt
and between the shoreline and the horizon,
the air and sea
three worlds
coming together
air, water, and earth
changing, ebbing, flowing elusive.
Betwixt
and between is that invisible world between
the wave and the beach,
the
fire and the log,
the root and the soil
the bud and the stem
the drop
of rain and the leaf
the new crust of snow and the old.
Can
you travel to these places of betwixt and between?
Can
you know the spirits that dwell therein?
Can
you leave your body and enter the essence of betwixt and between?
Can
you fly free into wild creativity
that which is the essence of life?
Light
a candle and breath deeply.
Watch the rise and fall of your breath.
Can
you find the betwixt and between in
the rise and fall of your breath?
Breath
deeply as you gaze into the flame.
Can you send your creative essence inbetween
the flame and wick?
What creativity lies there?
Go
to the places of betwixt and between.
Fly free and enter possiblity.
What stories, what adventures lie there?
