Truth Comes in Stillness

There is nothing more urgent than slowing down.

Nothing.

In a society / culture / family that values above all else productivity, accomplishments, acquiring material possessions,

it is a radical act to pause, to slow down

to ask ourselves 

we who are 

what we truly want 

how we want to be

It is a radical act to show up for who we abandoned long ago:

Our Self (capital S).

I don’t want to reach the end of my life wondering

“What else might have been possible?”

… if I took that risk?

… if I prioritized my health?

… if I rewrote the story I kept telling myself?

… if I actually showed up for the person I was meant to become?

When we slow down, get quiet, and drop in

We can hear what’s below the surface -

that still, small voice that’s pleading to be heard.

Truth comes in stillness.

I’m listening.

Are you? 

What do you hear when you slow down?
