H,
It does not come easy to us, this slowing down and taking a breather. We
will say that we have nothing to rest about and the economic reality is that we
need action and not silence. This is understandable. There is a loud call to
action and a scramble for opportunities in this abnormal place the world is in.
Still, take a deep breath.
In fact, take several during the day. Our work life is not separate from
our real life. Our life is hidden in God. We do not separate lives anymore. We live
one whole life of meaning and purpose and depth and joy. So, we take time to
explore the inner life, too. We pause and pray and meditate on the things that
matter.
Today will come at us with all this sound and fury. We already have the
answers. In the storm, Christ was asleep. When they came for him, he was
praying. He went up to mountains to pray in the middle of changing the course
of history. There is nothing wrong with taking these deep breaths. Life will
tell you not to. Life is limited.
Take a deep breath, right now.
