walk slowly

3/23/2017

 
It only takes a reminder to breathe,
a moment to be still, and just like that,
something in me settles, softens,
makes space for imperfection.
The harsh voice of judgement
drops to a whisper and I remember again
that life isn't a relay race;
that we all will cross the finish line;
that waking up to life is what we
were born for.
As many times as I forget,
to catch myself charging forward
without even knowing where I am going,
that many times I can make the choice
to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk
slowly in the mystery.
- "Walk Slowly" by Danna Faulds
We invite you to pause and reflect:
  • How are you "charging forward" at this time? Where is that taking you?
  • What mystery might you walk more slowly into at this time in your life?
