Her presence lingers, embedded in every rock she encountered on her path, in every flower she sniffed and in every tree that provided her shade. Her stillness remains in my heart, anchored deeply in all the moments we spent together. The faster the world moves, the slower I live my life. Sometimes we lose sight of the present moment, thinking of all the things we need to do, all the emails we must answer and all the tasks we got to accomplish.
We lose sight of what is truly important to us, just to give the world everything. There is nothing left at the end of the day for many. What if we start triaging what comes towards us and what is asked of us? Is the next thing I do taking me closer to my dream? Is what I am doing aligned with what I believe in? Does it come easy? Does it bring joy to my heart?
Just for today, I chose to distance myself from the fast lane of life. Just for today, I chose to see a different perspective. Just for today, I will give my full attention to the present moment. Just for today, I chose to be of service to myself. Just for today, I chose to slow down.
