For my busy friends....
In the chaos of stress, deadlines, and pressure, the cacophony of noise assaults us. Everything is too loud, too bright, too busy. We carry the burden in our shoulders, our backs, the pain wearing us down to weariness. It all feels too heavy, too much, impossible, insurmountable.
Into that heaviness, if we listen, we can hear the voice of Peace, reminding us to rest for awhile, to breathe, to play. The sun and the gentle breeze beckon us to sit for a minute and see that life continues all around us.
Our stress is temporary and life is so much bigger than the narrow "now" that we see.
So, in your haste, remember to stop, breathe, drink in the beauty around you, feel the pulse of life around and within you. Take a moment in gratitude to thank the Holy One that continues to write the pages of our life stories. Know that beyond the "now" is the forevermore, which calls us into new life.
"All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well" (Juliana of Norwich).
