The Gap

Sit.
Breathe.  
Clouds drift across the mind’s sky,  
but you don’t climb aboard.

The medidation practice plants a tiny gap
  a calm front porch between what you hear and how you answer.

When selling, the gap is gold.

Prospect finishes a sentence.  
Instead of scrambling for the next line,  
you stay right there still, open.

Their words settle like snow in a globe.  
Only then do you shake it with the question that matters.

Meditation isn’t about emptying the mind.  
It’s about widening the pause  
so presence can walk through.

Less knee jerk pitching.  
More real listening.

And strangely,  
that quiet gap sells better than any script.
