Space - The Final Frontier

Yes, I’m a “Trekker”.

We used to say ‘Trekkie’ until it became associated with the ones that lost touch with reality. So yes, Trekker.

In case you don’t know, a "Trekker" or a "Trekkie" is a fan of the franchise Star Trek – with its different TV series, movies etc.

Being a Trekker makes me geeky in more ways than one {see, I'm not just a Pilates geek 😇} but NO, this post is not about "the voyages of the starship Enterprise" nor about its "5 year mission (or continuing mission) to explore strange new worlds"...

Or, maybe it is??? Well, not outer-space worlds anyhow.

Space, is what’s between everything in our universe –
it’s where everything is found.
Space is what us humans cross to explore –
it’s where all possibilities lie, where potential is infinite.

As we opened the studio doors last week week I got thinking a lot about our studio’s actual physical space and how it’s changing.

The Social distancing that is now vital and critical for our health is evident in the studio. So are our masks and my face-shield.

I was thinking about that SPACE between us all.
How we humans keep exploring options of how to cross that SPACE to find connections.

I was also thinking about that SPACE that keeps us safe.
How much we felt we needed SPACE for ourselves during the lockdown as the walls of our homes felt like they were closing in on us, and how much we revere it for our health.

I was thinking about how much we need SPACE for our breath as we're wearing a face-covering.

How much our bodies, joints and tissues need SPACE to function and work better making us feel and be better in the world.

I was thinking about SPACE as it is indeed where we find everything - including ourselves.

SPACE that for sure allows us all the options and possibilities and potential to BE despite these weird times.

SPACE, that sure feels like The Final Frontier to explore and embrace...

In the continued uncertainty, as we open the second week of emerging from lockdown, I hope we can all find OUR OWN SPACE.
