I almost didn’t do my own pause this morning because it didn’t feel productive. I have been running so fast lately and I have so many things to do. But I forced myself. And then when I did pause, I kept resisting the temptation to get up and send an email or add something to do my to do list.
Pausing is hard. Yet if we want to live a life of integration, intention, and impact, we have to come back home to our true selves. We have to find ourselves. So that is what we will do today.
Listening portion today:
The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth,
It can lie down like silk breathing
Or toss havoc shoreward; it can give
Gifts or withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth
Like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can
Sweet-talk entirely. As I can too,
And so, no doubt, can you, and you.
