Oh my favorite poem from his book. That silence and stillness of a rock is such a powerful metaphor. It calms me.
I’m sitting here writing Christmas cards and notes and enjoying the slowness and thoughtfulness of sharing the love I have for my family and friends. If I stay mindful I enjoy the peace. When I get carried away into the mess of “I have to finish this or else ..” I’m gently bringing myself back to slowness. This is a gift to myself this year. There is too much hurry scurry in this world and I am choosing slow and it’s good enough.
I’m looking forward to the Spacious Way series in January. I have the books! My word for 2025 is slow, not my usual MO even as I’m approaching 82 next year. I would like slow to be a choice, not forced on me because of advancing age. 🐢🫶

Well put, Ruth. I can feel the quiet reverence of your Christmas card writing. What a nice way to slow down.
Yes I try where I can in the midst of lots of living. 😊
Thank you for sharing this blessing!
All the best Stephanie in the coming year!
And you as well, Jeanine!

Yes, to slow down on purpose, and with purpose, for all of us. So glad you will be joining us in January!
Happy Solstice to you too🎄
