Pause

Pause in the afternoon.

Fix a small teapot of darjeeling. Or steep ginger herbal tea in porcelain cups. 

The simple cultural practice learned in other lands remains in my life today. 

Taking time. Away from chores and computer and concerns.  Sitting quietly or visiting with a friend.

Daily pause. To breathe.

Nonstop

Stop the nonstop. 

Wait. Breathe.

Be still and know that He is God. 

Not an easy sell to busy minds. Crowded calendars. Never-ending notifications. 

But necessary.

Needful.

No rush

No rush. 

Permission granted. To turn off tech. 

Leave the non-stop. 

Breathe.
