That’s a beautiful quote from Sharon Salzberg about the power of spaciousness in our awareness. It speaks to one of the core insights of mindfulness practice—that when we create a little breathing room between stimulus and response, we open up possibilities for choice rather than simply reacting from habit.
The idea resonates deeply with your work in leadership development and heart-centered practice. That spaciousness is where presence lives—where we can pause, notice what’s arising, and respond with intention rather than automaticity. It’s the gap where compassion, integrity, and wisdom can inform our actions.
