Perhaps the third space is a coming together. Duality seems to be divisive by its nature: either/or, you or me. The third space could be “and.” And maybe we won’t evolve again as a species until we learn to surpass the discomfort required to remove duality’s invisible walls.
YES! Brilliantly stated. It's not here or there, staying or leaving (as per The Ones That Walk Away from Omelas)... it's the space between, the tension of both worlds. Living with duality but not inside of it.
This was a refreshing read. I enjoyed the turn you took at the end. Gently and full of kindness.
The line “And I think the children will be safe there” reached me profoundly. It felt warm and hopeful.
I do believe in these third spaces. I believe in the collective power we have to build these third spaces. And I believe in the wonderful spaces we have now while we look for it.
