In Pursuit of Ma (間)

The space in-between…

There’s something magical about silence. Not only the kind you can hear, but also the kind you can feel and see. A pause, an opening… an emptiness.

I stumbled upon the concept of Ma (間) in 2024. At a time when I was in a space in-between. My kids left home and I’ve lost my mom, who needed some assistance after my dad died of COVID. I wasn’t economically active either and for someone who has worked for most of their life, it took some major adjusting.

Initially I thought I’ve wasted the year.

I didn’t.

It prepared me for this journey… An adventure to discover Ma.

But, what is Ma?

Instead of boring you with a long textbook description, I found this beautiful video by Dans Le Gris.

And so my journey begins.
