The space between the words

Is there space between the words?
I think :
Word is the worth of the worthy,
They give and keep the word,
There is no space between their words,
Lest say people, they are wayward..
'वर्त्' / वृत्ति / वार्ता / वर्त्तमान
Though the above statement I made is in poetic vein, I would like to say 'space' 'स्पृश्' the physical one at least, is the AkAsha-tatva आकाश-तत्व and is one of the 5 elements > 'mahAbhUta' > महाभूत , that simply means ऋषि Rishi knew,  this 'space' is but 'matter' The very word 'mahAbhuta' महाभूत, points out that which is subject to emerge out and disappear with Creation (SriShTi / सृष्टि) and Dissolution (Pralaya / प्रलय) . The 'Self' / 'Consciousness-Supreme' neither emerges nor sinks / submerges. Though the existence keeps emerging and submerging. So Space is not everywhere, nor everywhere / everything in space. Again, This 'word' comes from Sanskrit root 'vart' 'वर्त्' that has many connotations, some are : 'to behave', 'to be present', 'to manifest', 'to express'. The word 'wort' in German is a direct descendant of this 'vart / 'वर्त्' which becomes 'word' in English. So 'vart' 'वर्त्' is a compact whole in the mathematical sense. This becomes 'vRtti' / 'वृत्ति' / mode and the Self' which is the ground is beyond this 'vRitti'/ वृत्ति,
यतो हि वृत्तिः प्रवर्तते यस्मिन् च प्रविलीयते ।
स दृष्टा नैव प्रवर्तते साक्षी नो प्रविलीयते ॥
--
yato hi vṛttiḥ pravartate yasmin ca pravilīyate |
sa dṛṣṭā naiva pravartate sākṣī no pravilīyate ||
--
जहाँ से वृत्ति उठती है और पुनः जिसमें विलीन हो जाती है वह 'दृष्टा' न तो व्यवहार में प्रवृत्त होता है न व्यवहार से निवृत्त होता है। 
(यहाँ वृत्ति का तात्पर्य है 'मन', … )  
--
Meaning :
The place where-from thought / mode of mind begins to work / appears, and where subsides / disappears again, that Witness / The one who observes this movement of mind, neither rises, nor sets.
--
Here word means 'mind' the movement of 'thought'. The Consciousness / the witness abides ever unaffected and aloof.
