For still moments...

Hey You,

Sometimes you just gotta pause. Let the in-between of thought and action just be. Let that split second take up space. Acknowledge it. Twice even. Take in that you're paused, reinforce the pause. And when its time move. 

So much can happen in the milliseconds of that moment. You can breathe, change your mind, smile, etc. You can play out consequences, you can let someone go, you can fall in love, you can grieve. 

The moments between thought and action are so damn precious. 

Sometimes, when I'm in the throws of a busy day, I will take a moment to really observe what's before me. Nine times out of ten its my kids. So I take in how they are in that moment. Even if it's an intense moment, I will become fully aware that it's fleeting. I will become fully aware of the space, the emotions, the actions. 

It's in those moments of stillness eternity and love exsist. Compassion grows in those moments, when we observe the truth of the moment. Connection builds in those moments. 

Things are more enjoyable in those moments, things like nature. And nature is an important one because those moments of "just being" are the foundations of nature. 

Have you ever taken a walk and stopped to observe and contemplate the life around you? Ever thought of the macro and micro world that folds in and all around us, down to the atoms that shape matter? It's fucking fantastic to put it lightly. 

Even when life is hard, those moments are still within reach. You have to want to see them. You have to want the new perspective. You have to see that perceived darkness is up for interpretation. You can even be the devil's advocate in those still moments. 

And then at the crescendo of that stillness, you continue to move. 

For a blink of an eye, you experienced eternity. You were God. You were your neighbor. And now you continue your dance in this world as you. 

Holy eh?! I swear I'm not high. I just think psychedelicaly. 

I hope you experience a still moment today and that you can experience the "All" in all it's shapes and non-shapes. Hehehe

All my love,

Amber
