My Potent Perspective

Every person has a space on this earth. Yes you have the space that you occupy right now. Maybe you are occupying your couch, work chair, seat in your car or a room in your home. However I am not referring to any of those. I am referring to THAT SPACE that completes your creation, the space that defines why you are here.   A lot of us are still seeking where our space is.
